Digital photography does pass along work to the consumer (learning the menus of a camera, computer connections and digital print-making) that was previously handled by lab. Costs per picture may be lower than with film (especially if the customer shoots a lot of photos), but there is an additional cost in training and inconvenience. After 122 years, we're back to "You Press the Button, We Do the Rest". Consider this camera is only $10, compared with the first Kodak of 1888 at $25. Years ago, someone told me that when you're young, you buy things. When you grow old, you buy services. Guess this falls into the area of services.
