and drug rehabilitation centers. — Oche Otorkpa

The main difference seems to be that, whereas photography still claims some sort of objectivity, digital imaging is an overtly fictional process.

It's almost ironic; the factors behind this are many and varied, but a significant contributor is our society's knowledge of - and belief in - the power of medicines. The pharmaceutical industry's palpable success means that unless something radical happens, it could soon be, like the Red Queen, running to stand still. — Michael Brooks
