Yes, of course they do. What are you going to do with some .jpegs without the internet? Literally a huge network, and it was rolled out around the same time.

I was probably too imprecise. I meant new infrastructure. I just want to point out where the analogy breaks down.

Point taken but since they rolled out around the same time, they did re-enforce each other. More pictures lead to more demand for internet, lead to internet being faster and more widely available, which lead to more pictures. Digital photographs were not the only driver of the internet's rollout, but I'm sure that they contributed.

Yes, then the question remains when an analogy loses its value. In this case I‘d say it’s a big stretch. I’m all for electric vehicles, I just don’t buy the analogy

You print them, same as film. Either at home, or put them on a CD-ROM or thumb drive and take them to the printer’s.
