Hello Everybody!

This is the post for May 30th, 2018.

Here is the link for a video. I think it is a fun video. Enjoy!

1) Do you take many pictures when you travel? What kind of pictures do you take? Why or why not?

2) Do you look at vacation pictures after the fact? Do you think others do?

3) When I see many people taking pictures, I often think that they are missing the real moment. What do you think?

4) Are there any original pictures anymore?

5) Why do you think people post pictures on sites like Instagram?

6) Do you recognize any of the places in the video?

7) Are you comfortable with the fact the pictures can never really be removed from the internet? Why or why not? Do you have any regrets?

Have a good week!
