To 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?

To 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 9y 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 9y agoHuh? That doesn't even make sense.
- artimaeis 9y 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 9y agoTrue! I think A/V can also help remember or trigger the memory feelings.
- dwighttk 9y agowhy do you think this?
- mozumder 9y agoYah but the entire point of Snapchat was to discard those moments...
- nhangen 9y agoWas. Not anymore.
- tabeth 9y agoAren't you just begging the question here? Personally I don't see why people take pictures of a lot of things. As for preservation -- if you remember it, is it not preserved? And if you somehow forget, could you not forget that you recorded it?
- filoleg 9y agoif you don't see the point of people taking pictures and videos of a lot of things in general, then why post it in a thread discussing a device in a product category made specifically for that? It's like saying that you don't see a point of music in a thread with people discussing a new Yamaha piano, and then you attribute that as a disadvantage of that piano.
