A photo never lies

Many photos are taken daily, and many photos are uploaded online daily. The main problem with this lies the computer, the medium for pictures to get from a camera to being online. Most people will take photos from their camera and upload them to their computer and then post them online. The problem is that once on a computer, a person can do anything with that photo. Photographs can be accurate at times, or maybe the camera malfunctioned or the photographer took a bad picture. So a photo can be accurate or inaccurate due to human flaws and design flaws. What adds another layer into this mix is computers. Computers are full of programs that allow you to edit photographs. Due to this, a person can simply touch up a picture, or edit a picture in an attempt to cause panic. Due to the variety of ways a picture can be changed, i would conclude a picture can lie due to a person. This can cause many people to come to the wrong conclusion.
