For about seven weeks of gathering
information related to my research topic, I still have questions in my mind which have no answers yet. The only thing I know is about the impact of technology on photography. Honestly, there are many articles about photography and technology, but about the effects of it on youth, there are few. Moreover, the questions that I'm going to ask must be answered by professionals in the field of photography and common users of photography technology.
With my materials and methods, I have stated there that a part of the findings and discussions of this study would come from the results taken from the survey I’m going to conduct. Since I have five parameters, I have come up with this question about education: Do you learn new information when you take photographs? I come up with this question in order to know if youth obtain knowledge when using cameras to take photographs, or their purposes in doing this kind of activity. This is also for me to know on how they use or apply what they have learned in their everyday life. For the social aspect, How do you use your photographs in socializing? In terms of social media sites, of course they would upload their photographs but with this question, I may find reasons why they socialize and how they socialize using photographs. The third parameter is about emotional aspect which I intend to ask is What do you feel when you take photographs, edit it, and upload in your facebook or other social media sites? Somehow, youth has different purposes of taking photographs and one of them is in order to express what they feel about their environment, other people and even themselves. This question would be essential to finally identify their common feelings about this. In the economical aspect, Which do you prefer to us when taking photographs? Cell phones, digital cameras, or web cams? Others please specify. This is for me to know how they could attain this type of camera and find reasons why they prefer using this. And last is about psychological or the way youth think nowadays, What kind of photographs do you mostly take?

Youth has different perceptions and
point of view about photographs. And with this type of question, I could
determine how they think and what behavior they have by knowing the photographs
they like to take.
With these type of questions, the people who might know the answers would probably be the common users of social media sites such as facebook, twitter, tumblr, and especially instagram and the youth who often use photo editing software. I may also know some information about these from IT professors or teachers and experts in the fields of photography.

I have already asked some of my
friends and teachers about the possible effects of photography technology on
youth culture, and it seemed to be that we have common answers. Of course,
youth tends to abuse the application of technology on photography. With the software
used in editing photographs, they somehow express their own artistic choices,
but photography as a form of art is not anymore present. In educational aspect,
it may be that at first, they do not know what they have learned, but suddenly
realized it in the end as they look at their photographs. Accessibility and
affordability may be the answer when it comes to economical aspect. With others,
I don’t have yet any idea, but I’m looking forward to get positive answers. I
still need to find articles about this and obtain opinions from experts.
Checked!
