Years ago, if we wanted to share our memories with our friends or family we would grab a disposable camera, take pictures of our camping trip or our visit to Disney and when we returned to civilization.we could take that camera to a drugstore and get the film developed. It took about a week I think. Then we would arrange our memories in a photo album and all our friends or family could see what a great time we had.
As time passed and technology improved we bought digital cameras and home computers. We could then connect our camera to the pc and transfer our memories one at a time onto popular social media sites.
Nowadays we just point our cellphones at whatever we want to capture, snap a photo or take a video. If we have the right apps installed we can instantly share our memories on any one of a dozen social media sites. Using our phones or tablets we can chat, share, send mail, shop, bank, etc.
Gone are the days when we need to be glued to our computers to interact with people. Now we have time to live more useful lives and to share those lives with our family and our friends.
So why is it that when I look around me, I see 4 out of 5 people staring at their phones?
