Instagraming Life
by Miki Saxon
It seems these days that people decorate their homes, choose their friends, food and clothes, determine their career path and employer, and organize their lives all in terms of what looks good on Instagram.
Doesn’t matter if the meal tastes good, as long as it photographs well. The same for everything else.
As long as a story can be spun and curated to impress people who aren’t known, and probably never will be, people will do/buy it.
And if an experience isn’t documented with pictures and posted online it might as well not have happened.
No kidding.
I actually overheard a guy say as much. Apparently his phone’s camera stopped working and he was grousing that the money spent on the trip was wasted.
What a strange world these people live in.
Is it your world?
I’m so glad it’s not mine.
