Importance:

Few inventions have so many uses as Daguerre's photography. In fact, it is widely used in various scientific research fields, and also has many applications in industry and military. For some people, it is a serious art form, and for millions, it is a happy hobby.

Photos can convey true information (or false information) in education, news and advertisements, and also become the most common treasures and souvenirs because they can vividly reproduce the past. Of course, cinematography is an auxiliary invention, and it has as many uses as general photography except as a main means of entertainment.
