Nowadays, a camera is a very useful tool. People will always want to save their memories in the form of photographs that will last forever. People were astounded when the first camera was introduced hundreds of years ago. At the time, cameras were large and impractical, and they were difficult to use. In fact, it took a long time to develop the images on the paper. However, there are some products, such as digital cameras and smartphones, that are very easy to use and, because they are pocket-sized, they can be carried everywhere.

There are about 12.4 trillion photos in the world. According to our latest estimates, another 1.72 trillion photos are taken every year, so the total number increases by 10–14% every year. By 2030, the world will have taken 28.6 trillion photos, more than doubling the current number.
