📷 How the Camera Industry was Hit by Smartphones
Over the past few years, #smartphone cameras have improved significantly. So much so in fact, that many people no longer see the need to carry or buy a dedicated camera. While professionals and photo enthusiasts will always get better results using high-end cameras and lenses, modern #smartphones take pictures that are easily sufficient for the demands of the average consumer.
To the camera and photo equipment industry, the rise of smartphone photography has had devastating effects. According to CIPA, a Japan-based industry group with members such as #Olympus, #Canon and #Nikon, worldwide camera shipments dropped nearly 80 percent between 2010 and 2017.

💰 Gig Economy Workers Are Earning Half What They Did Five Years Ago
More people are working for ride-sharing and delivery companies but on average they’re making less.
On average, drivers who transport people (#Uber or #Lyft) or things (#UberEats or #Postmates) through an app made 53 percent less in 2017 than they did in 2013, according to a new study by the JPMorgan Chase Institute.
The average monthly payments to those who worked for a transportation app in a given month declined to $783 from $1,469. Meanwhile, people working for leasing apps — #Airbnb, Turo, Parklee and other apps that let you rent assets like your home, car or parking space — saw their incomes from those platforms rise 69 percent to $1,736 on average.
This is happening as online gig work has become more popular, thanks in large part to the growth in the number transportation jobs.

🤖 Android's Dominance
Ten years ago, on September 23, 2008, the T-Mobile G1 made its debut, marking the birth hour of #Android. More than a year after #Apple had released the first #iPhone, Android’s debut wasn’t as spectacular and, as opposed to the iPhone, the first Android device still had a physical keyboard. But #Google’s open approach to building a mobile platform quickly proved to be successful and it took less than three years for Android to become the number 1 platform in the booming smartphone market.

🖼 Billboards Are Back!
It’s the era of internet #advertising. The era of targeting that tracks you across browsers, platforms and across the city. The era of apps that know what you want before you do.
But surprisingly, a seemingly retro ad format — outdoor advertising — is also having its heyday.
Ads on billboards, buses and at venues like baseball stadiums are expected to see record spending this year. Worldwide ad spend on so-called “out-of-home” advertising is expected to reach $38 billion this year, up 3 percent since last year and 35 percent since 2010, according to data from ad measurement company Zenith.

📺 Who’s Watching the Ads on YouTube?
This week, #YouTube announced a new type of in-stream ad format, positioned as a new way for “advertisers to connect with their audience” by allowing viewers to move beyond mere click-through interactions and onto more complex transactions, like downloading an app or buying a movie ticket.
According to Verto data gathered over the past year, men and Millennials spend the most time watching ads on YouTube’s mobile app.
Men spend an average of 6 minutes per month watching ads on the app, compared to just under 4 minutes per month among women (and an average of just under 5 minutes per month for all users).
Younger #Millennials (18-24) rack up an average of 9 minutes per month watching ads on the YouTube mobile app, which is nearly double the amount of time that older Millennials (25-34) spend with ads on the YouTube app.
