I'm curious -- why do you want to record the moment?
- donttrack 8y agoMaybe he is too busy with work related thinking to enjoy the actual moment and want to save it, so it can be enjoyed properly at a later time.
- nhangen 8y agoThat's a ridiculous question. $10k says you don't have kids. I have 3. 15, 14, and 7. I'd give anything to have more of their precious moments saved so that I could reminisce and stroll through those periods once more.
- tabeth 8y agoWhy does it matter if I have kids or not? Everyone has friends and family. The question remains.
- nhangen 8y agoFriends and family is 100x different. It’s impossible to explain unless you are a parent.
- true_religion 8y agoCould you not give it a try? Others often try to understand the experience of others. It is the basis of empathy.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoWhen a man and a woman love each other very much, they exchange legally binding jewelry and then rub their bodies together until a baby comes out. Gay folks can do it too but the process is more complex.
- oflannabhra 8y agoTo preserve it. That is like asking why anyone wants to record anything. Why make home movies? Why take a picture? Why write down a thought?
- aw3c2 8y agoYou cannot preserve a moment nor a feeling. If you value your memories based on a audiovisual capture of events you are missing out on actual feelings of remembrance.
- oflannabhra 8y agoHuh? That doesn't even make sense.
- artimaeis 8y agoSome people are more forgetful. Regretfully, I fall into that category. If I haven't written about a thing or captured its audio or video in some way, there's little chance I'll remember it after a year. Those memories have no intrinsic value, but they are very precious. Being able to revisit them A/V is invaluable.
- aw3c2 8y agoTrue! I think A/V can also help remember or trigger the memory feelings.
- dwighttk 8y agowhy do you think this?
- mozumder 8y agoYah but the entire point of Snapchat was to discard those moments...
- nhangen 8y agoWas. Not anymore.
