Digital Life

Triceratops

I’ve been scanning photo negatives this evening.

In no particular order, I’ve stumbled across the photos from our 2000 trip to the UK. It’s really remarkable how digital cameras have changed the way I take pictures. (No, the haven’t gotten any better.)

When I’m done it’s going to come out less that 100 photos for the entire 2 weeks. With my dSLR, I’m as likely to snap a 100 photos of the on a slow afternoon.

Looking back at the photos taken of me, I’d be surprised if there’s 200 of my entire childhood.

Never in the history of mankind has there been such a complete visual record of the triviality of life as there is today. It’s not hard to imagine a time when every moment of a life might be recorded, but what will happen to those of us from before the digital revolution?

Will we be forgotten photos on the wall of a TGI Fridays?
