There's a world of difference between technical quality and aesthetic quality.
New equipment can produce 20Meg images of perfect exposure and focus and chips can capture the wonderfully subtle variations of color and shade and contrast that almost rival that of our eyes, and anyone can take a picture that is technically a marvel compared to anything that even the best professionals could ever have managed a generation or 2, or 3 ago.
But that's not what photography is. A good photograph can change the world, capturing and placing the viewer at a place in history, or just revealing a hidden world of human emotion or an abstract fantastic idea.
What cannot really be taught or engineered is vision - seeing the unseen and capturing it, whether with a brush a mouse or a lens.- yes in a way, the standard of some things has vastly improved...others not so much...vaxorcist
