DIY "Descriptive Camera"

So we all know what a camera does. It can take pictures or record videos. You can take those pictures and upload it on Facebook to share it with your friends, print it out and keep it in your living room or bed room in a frame, or just keep it in your camera for fun! So that's pretty cool. Being able to take a real life image and storing it in one device is one pretty hard device to make. Well guess what? Now there's a camera that prints out a description of what the picture you just taken looks like. This "Descriptive Camera" prints out a description and a picture of what the image looks like. Since it's a little too hard to take pixel by pixel and compare with others, they send it to a place called "Beaglebone" and have someone sort of describe it. It then is printed in the back of the camera.



I learned that technology is improving extremely quickly. First we had sticks and stones. Then we started to be able to forge steel and iron weapons and carve statues. Then the Renaissance came and improved painting and acting. Then guns were made and many technologies were made. Now we have today, the age of technology. We have amazing influences like Apple and it started with Windows. We have a non-colored and immobile camera, but now we have cameras that can take colored images and cameras that are able to describe something.
