ABSTRACT

The invention of the portable cell phone long precedes the invention of the camera phone. The development of the camera phone has a very specific history. The camera was first introduced into the portable cell phone market during the year 2000, in Japan and South Korea. The camera phone is a hybrid device emerging from the combination of three older technologies: the telephone, digital photography and Internet computing. The procedure for taking a camera phone image has been highly simplified technically for the user and this is one of the key features of the mobile phone camera. The mobile phone camera and the networks with which it is almost completely synonymous have intensified this interest and capacity to photograph and distribute a person's intimacy. The mobile phone was rapidly and even perhaps somewhat unexpectedly plugged into a whole new world and network of mobile communication devices, currently '4G'.
