Greatest Inventor- Photograph

I think that the photograph is the greatest invention of the 20th century. When I studied history of photographs last year, I learned the importance of photography in the development of - human civilization-.A picture is an image of the light produced.( The photograph was invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre in 1838.)

Photographs allowed to people to get a lot of information quickly and exactly. It changed the way we had to rely on memory because we could record everything and every moment.

Second, as the photograph developed, movies were invented, too. This affected human culture. Through movies, we can have a lot of experiences indirectly while watching them.

Third, photographs influenced the Art world. Realism vanished, and impressionism began. It was a revolution in that time. Impressionism was the beginning of Contempoary Art.

In conclusion,I believe the photograph is an amazing invention. We always take pictures to create many images and remember people, things and situations. I cannot imagine my life without the photograph.
