Your-say

PHOTOS

With the new technology, nowadays in our society everybody is able to take photos. The point that I want to talk about is this new and stupid necessity in our society of losing time taking photos.

In my opinion this urgency of taking photos or videos of things, persons, events… is a way to keep forever this moments. Is normal that people want to keep in his memory things, to then months or years later remember them. So, you should be asking what is wrong with that.

I will put an example to explain it. Imagine that you record a video where your friend is blowing candles, and then 10 years later you see it. In this moment you won’t be remembering a moment, you just will be imagining how it was. Why? Because while your friend was blowing the candles you, instead of were living this moment, you were recording for live it in the future. 

Is very sad to see how people in celebrations, events… are all the time with his phones or cameras taking photos or videos to show this moments to other people or just to see it later… Is a waste of time because at the end, all you will have done will be doing things for the future, and in the future be “remembering” the past. 

And what about the present? Nobody let a place for it.
