Seeing Ourselves Through Technology ch 2 reflection

So as I was reading this chapter I thought to myself, what would people do without filters. Nowadays you can go online and see your friends posting pictures, and most of the time there might be a filter or two in the photo its self . Technology has come a long way since the 1900s. I tend to think people look better without filters but who am I to make that decision for someone. People of younger generations are blooming online with filters everywhere to try to show people that they are “pretty” or “hot” when in fact it’s not really who they are. I liked the chapter overall and thought there was some good things in it. Filters are being used everyday millions of times, I would say a lot more people use filters on snapchat than anything. I have an android and the camera quality sucks so I usually do add in filters to make the picture better, but people still know who I am and my goals. Nothing that you post on the internet really disappears so people need to be careful on what they post because there will be someone who says something nasty on a picture. Where as my coach Mr. Rutt he should probably add in some filters as he kind of looks like thumb thumb from spy kids. Im not saying adding filters is a bad thing, but I do think that we as the younger generation use filters a little too much and should just be happy with how they look. Just like the little class assignment we had to do, take a picture of something and add a filter to make it look more beautiful. What if it already is a beautiful piece of work. Peace out reflection blog, its been real with this chapter.
