My response
In 1685 , the first camera was designed but the first photograph was clicked in 1814. Then , the camera have been improved continuously . At the present , this device is popular in every ages of people. We use this device without realizing of it's main purposes . For my opinion , the main purpose of cameras is preservation of history but nowadays we use it for showing our luxury or chic lifestyle .We try to get greater selfie photos without noticing that selfies can be dangerous and fatal.
After reading this news , I searched on the internet and found a lot of related news . Since we have mobile phones that come up with a camera , the number of died people from take selfies has risen. The reason of dead by accident is not a modern device but it's because of our cautiousness.
In addition , we do passionate by amount of likes on Facebook or hearts of Instagram . It's lead us to be in harm situation by ourselves.
I didn't count this situation as accident because we all know the apparent cause. So, we can avoid and stay away from it. I feel regret to died and injured person and I'm also hope that it'll not happen again.
As long as "preservation of history" includes personal history, I think that Fern makes a good point, but then, the our lifestyles, including meals and so on, is part of that history. Because my camera is now always in my pocket, I do snap photos of meals with friends and that inevitably includes our clothes, but I snap because I want a reminder of the time, whether at an expensive restaurant or at the kai yang and somtam stall next to my condo.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Fern's thoughtful response with my coffee this morning. And now I'm wondering: Should I take a snap of my morning coffee and workspace to post on FB? And yes, I do sometimes do this. But my friend list is very small by most standards, at less than 30. I sometimes also post snaps of things like my walk to work if something catches my eye that I think relatives and friends in Australia might enjoy. But there is nothing very glamorous about my short walk from Silom to AUA.
If I might make a formatting suggestion:
ReplyDelete1. Don't justify margins. It's usual, and easier for readers, if the text is left aligned only. Academic style guides, for example, normally insist on this for submitted work. Justified text is only used when columns are very narrow, as in some newspapers or magazines.
2. Don't indent first lines. This is not a problem, but it means getting into a bad habit of using space space space to move text around. And that can be dangerous.
It's enough to add an extra line to mark paragraph breaks.
