1) I think the photos that were the most eye-opening were the ones of war, namely WWII and Vietnam. The images from there were just so graphic and gave me a disturbing sense of what war is all about.
2) They document important events, and so show us truth, but more recently, in the digital age, the truth is able to be altered, and so we find ourselves being slightly more skeptical of the truth than we had been. Also the choice of which pictures appear in the media effect our perceptions on people and/or events, so we are more likely to lean towards the bias of the reporter.
3) Digital photographs have made sharing pictures easier and more efficient. They have also effected our perceptions on what is true and what has been altered, as we can no longer really believe in the truth of photographs.
4) Events covered would probably be of things such as the wars in the Middle East, which are huge and effect many people. Technologies shown would probably be how the cameras have changed, getting smaller and smaller, and with features such as video recording enabled on them.
