The World and imagery in it are changing.

The World and imagery in it are changing.
The way we view imagery is exponentially developing to the Nth degree - and I believe this to be in a good way.

For hundreds, "nay, thousands" of years viewing and, if possible touching art and imagery has existed.

People with imagination, particular artistic talents, certain abilities or capabilities have been producing or sponsoring the production of imagery in a phenomenally wide range of media, styles, sizes, scope and capturing the imagination and wonderment of others.

Today this is wealth of imagery and artistry is incredibly greater in depth and breadth.
Today you can see, touch, hear, feel, taste, smell and even sense it by means way beyond what was envisaged even a few years ago.

3D (3 dimensional) printing on the other side of the Earth or even off it, virtual reality inventiveness and other electronic advances are examples of how changes have come about but that is not all.
General improvements in the wealth - and not necessarily great increases but moderate improvements in disposable incomes in every country mean 'ordinary' folk have bought or visited artwork and imagery, travelled and seen things intentionally or incidentally in their travels in ways that folk in the past would not even dream of let alone image could happen.

Shakespeare once wrote words to the effect of "the World's your oyster".
With respect to imagery and art today never has this been so true.
