'Likes and shares' today has become the means to prove how 'rich' we are, and not necessarily how 'happy' we are.
The age of digitisation has helped memories stay afloat in our mind in many ways than one…be it sharing our pictures on Facebook, Instagram, or just Tsharing them through WhatsApp. It has all become so easy and we truly stay connected by keeping our dear ones updated. Let's peep into the past, when cameras with film rolls were used…and those rolls had to be taken to the studios to get washed. And then came the age of digital point and shoot cameras with memory slots; SLRs were extensively used by professional photographers. However, in this day and age, while the number of SLRs with the masses is increasing, so is the camera quality in our handy cell phones.
Earlier the platform of sharing memories through photographs was occasional, when we met our family and relatives. Physical albums were maintained and a description was shared with each flip in the page of the album. Physical albums are a passé now. Not to miss, the traditional photo album acted as a medium to sit together and look at pictures and go back into the memory lane and discuss extensively about each event that took place when the picture was captured.
What is it that we, in the fast paced and digitised world, really do to share our memories today? Well, we just click and upload. The word rapid falls short in explaining the pace at which times are changing. The rate of change is exponential!
With changing times, not only cameras, there has been a rapid change in telephone technology, too- from traditional land lines to the basic push button cell phones and then smart phones and then, the rather evolved smart phones that we are using today. In this age, smart phones have become a medium of both communication and entertainment. From a common device at home, it has become a 'personal device'. The phone is being used extensively to click and upload pictures at a rapid pace.
