This makes me realized how amazing it will be having tools like Instagram, having captured millions of photos, in around 100 years from now.

- georgemcbay 14y agoI have mixed feelings about that. Millions of recent GPS tagged photographs floating around in the cloud have some incredibly cool technical potential when combined with something like PhotoSynth, but culturally I think ubiquitous photos actually weaken the historical impact. To loosely stick with the Russian theme, a peek into a single moment in the life one person 100 years ago is fascinating, but a million peeks into a single moment in the life of a million people 100 years ago is just data.
- sonnenkiste 14y agoWill all these Instagram pictures be there in 100 years? What happens if Instagram shuts down?
