Has the nature of photography changed significantly with digital photography and camera phones?

I’ve been thinking about this recently. I have a wedding photo album from years ago and albums of kiddie pictures. Now, with digital photography and particularly smartphones, I rarely keep a hard copy of any pictures or even upload them to my hard drive. I have been taking a lot more pictures since I’ve had my iPhone and have been sharing and showing them much more than ever before, but they are more of an ephemeral pleasure than an heirloom or keepsake. Your thoughts?
