“When I first started thinking about the second round of this assignment, I thought I would document the mailboxes that are found on random corners of the city. They are not really physically disappearing, but people obviously rely on email so much more then ever before. Snail mail is still pretty awesome, in my opinion.”
-SaleemAhmed
“Oldtoysandoldcars!”-AmeliaBlanda
“The thing I was kinda going for was media delivered to your house. I don’t see that as the media or mail going out of style, but maybe as more electronic media. I’m not saying that’s good or bad, but that’s the trend.”
-AndyCybularz
“25 years ago, we couldn’t even dream of anything like a laptop ever existing. Now, you see every single college student having one. With nobody really knowing what the future in technology holds, laptops by some accounts may become totally extinct. It will be like the cassette player of our generation. Snappier than an 8-track, but ultimately becoming surpassed by things far greater than our imagination.
Should I really put up a picture of my Macbook? I feel like that’s kind of tacky. Its more the idea behind the matter, but I guess if I must...”
-IanDarrenkamp
“I decided to focus on Broad Street and its rapid changes. I think this is important because with such advancements in technology, this street had the ability to transform, in ten years, or less. Since I transferred to Temple changes to campus and the surrounding community have been appearing left and right. I also can’t help traveling South Broad without taking a double take at the new addition to the Convention Center. The money put into these new buildings amazes me, let alone the features that come along with them. Is it really necessary to put a movie theater inside a new complex, let alone retail stores? Reading about these things sometimes boggles my mind, and makes me wonder, what will Broad Street look like when I come back and visit after a few years have passed?”
-JessieFox
“Public water fountains have been around since Ancient Greeks first conceived them. While they may not be going anywhere they certainly are changing and have changed over the past 100 years. This design may be obsolete by the time you see it.”
-SarahFry
“Remember how you would pop in one of your favorite videos, so excited to watch it, and you realize that you forgot to rewind it from the last time you watched it? Aw man. Now you have to wait twenty minutes for it to finish rewinding. Now a-days with DVD players, you can just pop in the DVD and it’s good to go, no hassle. But I sure do miss some of my favorite video tapes.”
-LorenGolden
“I guess I don’t have much against digital art, I’m just sad that traditional art is starting to suffer because of it. Knowing how to paint won’t get you many job offers; knowing Photoshop and Illustrator are something every designer/illustrator needs to have on their resume.”
-SamGray
“Believe it or not, people used to listen to music on these oversized vinyl discs! You couldn’t even skip forward to the songs you wanted to listen to, you had to listen to the whole thing. Who has time for that, right? People said it sounded better, but who’s to say. If you go down to your local antique shop maybe, just maybe, you’ll find yourself a turn table and you could listen to one these archaic sound makin’ discs used by your ancestors.”
-BradLarrison
“I’ve always found it interesting to look back at big brand names, like Coca Cola or Arm and Hammer, and see how the labels have changed and how they sometimes remain somewhat similar. Fifty years from now, big brand names like Snapple or Hershey will look completely different, so I decided to take pictures of current brand names that we see a lot to document how they look at this moment in time.”
-KatelynnLuczkow
“For the many years before the invention of electricity, candles were used as a major source of light. In fact, they’ve been around for over 5000 years. Some of the first wicked candles were used in 3000 BC by the Egyptians. Today they are no longer a large light source and are mainly used for decorative purposes. In the coming years I have to wonder if they will slowly be replaced by something electronic.”
-KelseyMcDowell
“In spite of being it expensive, time consuming, and that I lack enlarging equipment, I find shooting film to be an immensely enjoyable process. The individual intricacies of each film; its pros and cons, make it more akin to a traditional art medium like choosing a paint then the sterile look of digital. Don’t get me wrong, I love digital, and you can fake the film look in Photoshop, but I think any photographer that never shoots some film is missing out. Hopefully there will still be film in the future.”
-LeeMiller
“It was fun while it lasted.”-ArielleMorgan
“This is my roommates electronic piano from the 1960’s. It used to be his grandfathers.”
-CaitlinMorris
“While I was doing laundry recently, I noticed these coin- only vending machines. The more I looked around and took in the environment, I realized there was a definite ‘60s vibe going on in the laundromat. We hardly see these anymore in modern businesses, for whatever reason.”
-KaraMortellite
“Games that aren’t digital! Imagine that, people physically interacting and touching the tools with which they maneuver through the game world. I can’t stand video games and it makes me sad that these social games are dying, death by strangulation from the video game controller cord or what have you.”
-HillaryPetrozziello
“I hope this isn’t the case, but perhaps newspapers won’t be around in their print versions. I think we will never get rid of them, they’ll just become digital... which makes me sad.”
-MariaPouchnikova
“I think so many people these days are turning to digital readers like the Nook, the Kindle and tablets like the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab for all their reading needs. They’re lightweight and convenient, and usually take up a lot less space in a purse or backpack than a hard copy book does. However, I can’t seem to get into the whole digital reader thing. I love being able to hold the book in my hand that I am reading, to be able to dog-ear the pages, make notes, and make my book look and feel loved. I love finding books at thrift stores or garage sales for a quarter or less. Used books not only tell the story held within its pages, but the story of the previous reader(s). I love finding names written inside covers, or marks in the book, just as I do sometimes. And I absolutely love bookshelves stacked with books, like I have throughout my house. I think books are something that should stay around forever, but I know they are quickly dying.”
-TheresaRegan
“Parking meters are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Now there are little machines that take credit cards as well as cash. I really don’t like this method because then you can’t always pass on your extra minutes to the next guy and you can’t easily slip some more quarters in the meter as you pass by your car. Rip off.”
-SarahSchu
“So I sit down Sunday night to watch a bit of television, and about 30 minutes into the endeavor my TV shuts off... strangely. I try to turn the television back on. I press the power button and an unusual noise goes off; the screen remains blank. I scratch my head and hope that the TV is not actually broken. I get the bright idea that if I unplug the TV it might magically make everything better, but obviously it did not help one bit. So I had to go out and get a new TV. All of this led me to think that the day of the TV with the huge backside is a thing of the past. TV’s are now as thin as a laptop. My old TV was 27 inches and probably weighed 50 pounds, my new TV is twice the size and weighs considerably less. Anyway, here is a picture of my broken down TV awaiting its final burial.”
-JamesSindaco
“Arguably, film is still big for some photographers. But I know I personally haven’t gotten a chance to get my grubby little photoggin’ hands on a film camera since mid-high school, and with a lot of people shooting in digital nowadays, one has to wonder what’s going to happen to these bad boys in 25 years.”
-IanWatson
“Remember when we used phones with coiled cords?”-LisaWilk
“I remember a time in my life when everything I pushed would push back. I used to be able to crank up the volume in a dimly lit room by feel alone... but not anymore. My Time Capsule is an Ode to Buttons, because touchscreens are here to stay....”
-WalbertYoung
