"Smartphones are a staple of modern life and are changing how we see the world
and show it to others. Almost 90% of Aussies own one, and we spend an average
of 5.6 hours using them each day. Smartphones are also responsible for more
than 90% of all the photographs made this year.

But compare the camera roll of a 60-year-old with that of a 13-year-old, as we
recently did, and you’ll find some surprising differences. In research
published in the Journal of Visual Literacy, we looked at how different
generations use smartphones for photography as well as broader trends that
reveal how these devices change the way we see the world.

Here are five patterns we observed."
