Abstract: Time-resolved ground-based surveys in general, and photometric ones in particular, have played a crucial role in building up our current knowledge of the properties, physical nature, and the very existence of the many different classes of variable stars and transient events that are currently known. I will provide a brief overview of some of these developments, highlighting some recent results and offering a glimpse at the future of the discipline.
