This is a fascinating theory/perspective, and it makes sense, though reading it I've felt an itch in the back of my mind: What about photography? We now have the fortune of having a camera with us everywhere. My parents derive great enjoyment from showing their childhood photos, and I must imagine this phenomenon will continue – though maybe it won't? Conversely, the accessibility of photography lends itself to potential over-utilization and hence devaluation. This year alone, I'm nearing 2000 photos taken. In 20 years, how will I pick out the ones that matter? Before, photography was for the special things, now it's for everything. Even though my parents have smartphones, they still have this mentality of photos as a precious resource. My dad has taken less than 200 in the whole lifetime of his phone. This just doesn't exist anymore. Sorry if this wasn't coherent, you just got my mind turning and I started spitballing! Thank you.
