The move from chemical photography to electronic imaging is one of nature. You gotta look at that more carefully. It's like shifting human reproduction from sexual intimacy between individuals to the genetic lab. The implications are revolutionary. The institution of the family then changes radically. Marriage then means something other than it did traditionally. And a birth certificate contains a genetic map, not merely names and a date.
