17. Instagram is growing in popularity.
Over 90% of participants have an Instagram account.
Instagram allows the editing of photographs with ease.
It allows creativity, and edits to be made, imitating photographic images of the past.
Over 80% of participants had bought a disposable camera
and,
Over 40% of participants owned a film camera
yet,
Most, if not all, have a phone with a camera, always at hand.
These findings would suggest that there is no longer a universal want to have the
best quality image,
but look for more creative answers.
