The speed at which we are communicating is moving faster and faster, largely due to the Internet. Email, instant messaging, video conferences on laptops . . . you can send a message to someone faster now than ever before.
Photo sharing is an excellent example of an activity that’s been greatly impacted by this speed of light communication. In days gone by, sharing a photo could mean anything from giving a friend a copy of a print to spending $150 on a high school yearbook. It meant both face-to-face contact – for example, sitting down with a family member and viewing a photo album – and long-distance contact, such as sending a faraway friend a handful of prints in via regular mail.
Fast & easy doesn’t mean it’s less complicated
Now, because of the recent rise in the number of photo sharing sites on the web sharing a photo has taken on new meaning. A lot of people still attempt to simply email photos. That can be a problem, since file sizes can clog up email inboxes and outboxes. Others send links to photo sharing sites and invite friends to view the photos. That works very well, but many sites require registration, which can be a barrier for some.
Still others open their photos up for the whole world to see. These open, public viewing sites can pose real security risks for the person exposing their personal life to the world. One wrong picture or piece of information could open your life to people you don’t want to know.
The paradox is that even though photo sharing has become faster and easier, it has, in some ways become more complex.
