I sometimes see old threads I contemplate bumping because of just how outdated they are. Here’s one that I searched down yesterday before I came back and found the thread closed:

> [@Talk to me about camera phones.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/talk-to-me-about-camera-phones/261130/8):
>
> Legislation and corporate policies will probably kill camera phones in fairly short order.
> 
> A lot of schools are banning them, on top of already restrictive policies regarding students’ use of cell phones.
> 
> They’re being banned from places like swimming pools, gyms and locker rooms.
> 
> My employer has banned the use of camera phones in all operational areas.
> 
> Mix that with the fact that they don’t take terribly good pictures to begin with, and this will probably just be a fad, much like the short-lived video phone systems you could buy at Office Depot just a few years ago.
