In a world without photos, there would be few to no memories. Except the the occasional person with a photographic memory (showoffs), the long-ago past would be difficult to visualize in our heads. I know personally that without photos, most of my early childhood (birthdays, holidays, the first day of school) would be something that I assumed happened, and not something that I could take myself back in time to through the piles of photographs my mother took.
Also, in a world without photos, media would have to take a whole new approach. Being an advertising major, this would have an enormous impact on my career. I suppose drawing and illustrations would become the new means for preserving our thoughts, ideas, and memories.
