PEOPLE'S BELIEVE ABOUT PICTURE TAKING

If you really want to remember a moment, try to take a photo People worldwide upload more than one billion images a day, preserving their memories to enjoy them in the future.  One of the major reasons we take photos in the first place is to remember a moment long after it has passed: the birth of a baby, a graduation, a reunion, a pristine lake.  Many used photos as a “memory aid.” They took pictures of things like parking spots or the label of the hot sauce at a restaurant to buy later. However, some people believe that when you take a photo of something, you're counting on the camera to remember for you. You are basically saying I don't need to think about this any further. The camera capture the experience. In other words if your camera capture the moment, then your brain doesn't. Of course you do remember things better, if you were completely in the present, hyperaware of every detail. But isn't that what photos are for? To refresh our fallible memories?
