I think this gets to the heart of "what people value" and Jason is looking at it from a perspective of a collector. I'm also a collector so I feel much like him.
I wonder if there's a relationship between collecting and being an introvert. I have no evidence but feel like there is. I think most people just don't value "things" the way our types do. What most people value is their social life. They post pictures to Facebook not to store the pictures but to get a reaction from their friends about the picture. That's what they value. The social interaction, not the thing.
- TheGRS 11y agoI really don't like to marginalize others by what type of personality they are. This is yet another way of putting people into buckets so that you can more easily go about your day without thinking about it much. Before facebook people would keep large collections of photo books so that when family and friends came over they could easily share them. It doesn't mean they valued those pictures any less because they were extroverted vs. introverted. People still keep hard copies of the pictures they cherish the most, like a wedding album. People value all sorts of things, but maybe they see cloud storage as perfectly secure, for the moment. Maybe personality plays into that, but I think its more about your approximate knowledge of the underlying technology that keeps people up at night.

Me either, I hope that's not what it sounded like. > Before facebook people would keep large collections of photo books so that when family and friends came over they could easily share them.

Yeah, absolutely, and I think people do still keep the photos they care most about today. I just think we overestimate how many of those photos exist. I think the overwhelming use of taking photos is for social conversation.
