Remember when we took pictures with film? The world was better then.
We once took pictures, then waited a period of time to get those pictures developed. Sometimes that period was an hour, a day, a week, or even years. It offered a certain sense of excitement. Going to the shop, getting your stack of pictures, going through them one by one with your friends.
“Don’t get your fingerprints on them, bro!”
Now, we have digital cameras. Now, we can take as many pictures as our card holds. Now, we have to hear that ever familiar line, “ohh, can I see it?” Every time without fail, a (insecure) female will ask to review the picture to make sure that her fake orange tan or newly low lighted hair looks good enough to get tagged on Facebook. “OMG, I look tragic. Can you take another?” This review process allows people to eradicate ugly photos of themselves. BULLSHIT. What happened to the romance?
Back in the day, this wouldn’t fly. “Sorry Babe, I only have 7 pictures left, gotta make them count.”
The digital camera is a great invention because it allows us to reminisce. Instantly.
shut up!
OH MY GOD. i totally agree. my whole fuckin’ friday night was full of me getting dragged into taking fifteen fucking pictures of the same pose because EVERYONE HAS TO RUN AND SEE IT. when you use a disposable camera, everyone looks genuinely happy in the photos, not fake and posed with their legs bent ever so slightly to the left. vom.
and carolyn, that’s plagarism. not legally actionable plagarism, but still registering on some “you’re just a douchebag; that’s not funny” plane of plagarism. you fail.
