We are witnessing the birth of a new universal language. One that is worth billions of dollars.
A language defined by the act of sharing images that define the fleeting, the profound and the trivial. This is a global language governed by the need to feel connected and the desire for expression. This is the language of photography on the social web.
Today anyone can publish a photo, but not every photo is interesting. Never has the policy of I will be interested if you are interesting mattered more. If photography is the de facto language of the social web does that mean we are all fluent? Or are we less thoughtful in our expression? Has technology impoverished the poetry of this new visual language? Or are we getting visually dumber as a result?
