Apple’s iPhone Software Shakeup After Buggy iOS 13 Debut

So true. My parents didn’t miss out not having a camera phone and neither did my grandparents. It’s amazing how dependant we’ve become on capturing moments. Sometimes even to the detriment of actually experiencing them.

This is just the 21st century version of old illiterate people whinging about younger, literate people writing things down or keeping reference materials instead of trying to memorize everything.

The human brain is way better at remembering where to find information than remembering information itself.

That’s really not what’s happening here. The only one moaning is the OP. Everyone else is just reminding the OP that their experience with the kids is still valuable even without a camera stuck in front of daddy’s face.

Might be related to the "Terror Management" theory. :)

We probably feel the need to preserve/hoard everything in a subconscious desire for immortality.

Could be, and maybe the motivation varies depending on the subject of the photo.

For example, I can go a whole vacation without taking any pictures. But with my kids I love to take their picture and get videos because they grow up so fast and it's fun now to go back and revisit a time when they were younger. They also love to see themselves when they were an age that they don't remember.

I think it's just a manifestation of FOMO. People fear they will one day regret not having more pictures, so they take more pictures than they might have otherwise "just incase."

It’s interesting that individuals have this desire- the goal should be survival of the species not of an individual

I get this sentiment. But whenever my wife and I swipe through old photos and videos of our kids, I am also overjoyed that I am a parent in the smartphone era.

Yes. The best camera is the one that’s with you. That’s what’s so great about the smartphone era—we have good cameras with us at all times.
