Abstract
In this last chapter, I review what we have learned about domestic photography and the role of sound, in order to outline the prospects for a new practice of audiophotography. These prospects depend both on the motivation to incorporate sound capture into the ordinary processes of photo taking and sharing, and the existence of suitable technology to allow people to do this in an accessible way. Hence I discuss the kind of technology required and its relationship to the content people want to create. I conclude with recommendations to consider content design in research on computer-mediated communication, and some personal comments on the future of audiophotography.
“Beyond information and communication, the new computing will emphasise innovation... Computers are tools for doing and making. They fit comfortably with the Renaissance definition of homo faber, man the maker” (Shneiderman 2003, p1 1)
