In the late 2000s, the smartphone and social media changed picture taking. Before, people used a physical camera. Then, they went to develop the film. But now, they just click with the smartphone. Then, they post it up on social media sites. But now, Google Lens changes photo culture…again.
So they introduced Google Lens last weekend at the Google Developer Conference. Just take a photo. Then, Google will figure out details for you. For example, take a picture of a coffee house. Google will tell you everything you want to know about that coffee house, from the hours to the reviews. Take a picture of a router. Then, Google Lens tells you how to connect to the WiFi.
Google Lens comes in Google Assistant and Photos. With Assistant, it will be like Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. Lens entertains questions and guide you through voices. So when you take a picture, Google Assistant’s voice will tell you the information. Google Photos works a little differently. ?You take a photo. It will tell you what the photo is through text. So you have to read it. Also, Google Lens comes up with prompts of other photos to take. Say you take a photo of a whale. Next time you go out to sea, Google Lens prompts you on other pictures of whales to take. That’s how Google Lens changes photo culture…again.
We’ll see. It is nice to be in a different city and take a picture. Then your smartphone explain the business, shop, or other places. And before you go in, you take the picture. Google Lens tells you all you need to know. This helps you save a lot of money and frustration. Because if that picture gives you a bad report, you don’t want to go there. It saves you from even taking that risk. Those of us in computer repair always look for the next big thing. Could Google Lens be it?
