Digital Art

Wow - there are so many artistic people out there (I'm not one of them).  I was amazed at the creativity in using the different apps for cell phones, etc.  The one I found very fascinating was the BrushesApp for iphones, the ipod touch, and the ipad.  A person literally uses their finger to draw on the screen.  Imagine carrying around something that fits in your pocket and being able to start drawing wherever you are.  A lot less messy I would think, than the real thing!  And way more spontaneous.  I am also amazed by the great pictures that can be taken with a phone.  How many times in the past (before cell phones if you can imagine it!) have I wished I had a camera to capture something that I would not see again?  For most of us, it's not about the picture quality as it is about catching that perfect moment.  Cell phones are great for that.  In an article titled Is The Cell Phone The New Polaroid written by Alan Murbayashi, he tells us that cell phones outnumber cameras by a huge margin.  It has made it great for "citizen journalists."  No doubt that's why we can view pictures of so many current events that were not available to us years ago.  And we no longer have to carry a large camera around our necks!  I can't help but wonder what's next with technology.
