>There must be a balance.
Why? I mean, why we cannot just NOT take pictures, or taken them very very very rarely, like on our wedding, kids first steps, or something major like that?
We managed to do without immediate access to photography for some millenia, and with very ocassional and rare use of it for the best part of the 20th century.
- jdsnape 2y agoWe did without it, sure, but I’m pretty sure people in ages past would have wanted to take photos just as we do now
- throwawaybob420 2y agoSuch an odd thing to say. You really think people 500 years ago didn’t yearn to capture moments?
- coldtea 2y agoYes. Like we didn't "yearn to capture" moments all the time, the way we do now, even in the 80s and 90s. Even though regular and compact and even disposable cameras were available, few walked around with one or used within the year. At best somebody would take a camera on holiday or some major life event, which is like 1/100 of current use.
