Technology is killing photography according to the author. Advanced editing software like Photoshop allow photographers to forget about properly focusing images. Additionally, camera phones have made photography accessible to everyone, reducing the need for professional photographers. New cameras like the Lytro also handle focusing automatically without input from the photographer. As a result, technology is lowering the skills required of modern photographers.
