With the rise of digital technology, copying ability became vast and complex and hence the idea of originality is thrown into

Photography is used to capture moments instantly. They can be used to compile memories or to convey a message.

The author goes into details of why images were first used, how we used to analyze art vs how we do today, and the rarity of arts.
