Thanks to the smartphone camera, we can capture any memory we choose, at any time, but they’re more vulnerable — and temporary — than ever, but they all feel more temporary than ever. This is the modern paradox.
Recently, a friend offhandedly commented that it was “somewhat mind-blowing” to consider a simple truth: “Thanks to digital cameras, we are creating a larger record of more moments than at any point in our entire history.”
Whatever mental explosions they expected were cut short, however, when another friend rather dryly interjected “Yeah, until an EMP knocks out everyone’s hard drives.”
