Question

1. Read the passage: Many of us return home after our holidays to brush the sand out of our luggage, water wilted pot plants, and later sort through treasured holiday memories forever. Months after your latest break and those happy snaps, you ask the questions - Where on an e-mail to the relatives? Downloaded onto a compute most of them when they discovered the hard disk was getting too filled with heavy files? If your household is like mine, the memories of our 2005 summer holiday may well disappear into the void that lies between the material past. Vou see, our paper photo album ends halfway through 2004. Since then the arrival of the digital camera and the mobile camera phone has meant our photos are 'stored' (on two computers, two phones, the camera itself, in an online di friends). None of the 'photos' has made it onto paper and into the album. And they probably never will. In fact, techno-challenged people like me fear these new pixel images will never become permanent, and that pictures on screen in albums, whose pages are turned like the books of our lives. The processing industry once hoped the snap lead to more images being transferred to paper because some households are yet to adjust to the latest forms of photographic display and storage. The most fundamental way photography has changed is that digital photos are virtually free. A happy snapper can take hundreds of photos of an event, rather than ration the occasion to a dozen composed shots. Digital snappers can become like the National Geographic photographers, who take about 12,600 shots per assignment, knowing only ten will be used. The photographer, however amateur, also becomes the editor. Once the images are transferred to a computer, they can be tampered with. Don't like the person in the shot? Get rid of him.
