How technology has changed photography and how digital has taken over?

In my point of view of digital technology has made a huge impact on the world of professional photographers, i feel that professional cameras that were used in the past, tended to be large and were often complicated to use and people couldn't really afford expensive equipment. And now film processing was an expensive and different process, i think that these changes have had an impact on photographers as technology changes to better digital photography equipment which comes in better use with professional photographers and new equipment.

As for technology now it has changed so much and different processes, as we have more professional equipment now then when photographers did have a long time ago as they couldn't afford much things back in the day, and would cost so much money for specialist retouching and combining different elements of pictures, and photoshop wasn't invented then, as we have photoshop now and better computer use for professional photographs. And now looking at different photographers work using photoshop is more interesting to look now then it did back then as they had to employee people to do special retouch work which was really expensive as people couldn't afford.

Here are some examples of Sam-Taylor Wood which she has photoshopped her photographer, she's just taken a photo of the chair and a photograph of the model laying down on the floor then photoshop it so the model is balancing of the chair in a usual way so this is why back in the day people could't do thing like this as we can do now.
