Snapshot's of "Reality"
In Lenore Skenazy's Don't Smile for the Camera she talks about how we try to take pictures and videos of when out lives conform and seem perfect and how that creates a false reality. Life isn't just perfect moments all of the time and although we can try and forget the bad memories they were our reality and we cannot change that. I myself don't like being in pictures and and videos because I never like the way they turn out but I'm missing out because in the future I know I going to regret not being able to look back. Skenazy isn't trying to tell us to only take pictures of the bad moments but of all the moments because if we only photograph the picture perfect moments we won't be able to remember all of the time that makes us who we are. In Pogue's article he talks about different places on the internet for sharing photos. The internet has so options for so many things and that could almost be a bad thing if you don't research and know what you are looking for. At first he assumed the largest and most popular website would make the task of sharing pictures with his mom and letting her buy prints of the pictures the easiest. He was wrong. He then did some research and then found the best site for the job. This story is really interesting because I just accept that Facebook and YouTube are the best sites for what they do but maybe with more research I could find sites that would work better for me and that could fit my preferences more. But there probably isn't anything better than Facebook.
