The digital age has by far changed the way we view, connect, and interact with the world. It allows so many amazing things to happen. You can reconnect with long distance friends and family. Stay up-to-date on social media outlets and do anything and everything without ever actually having to leave your home (or you can take it with you).
Its really interesting how you can stay up on the latest news on someones life, without them ever telling you personally. However, one thing that we can all agree on is we love the ability to see each others photos. We immediately can view our friends vacation photos, our cousins new baby, and your college roommates wedding photos all online.
With technology moving so fast at rates we can’t afford to keep up with, it is really hard to know where the digital world is going. So is Facebook the one and only outlet you want your friends and family to have access to YOU? I came across something last week on the world wide web and it was a photo of a floppy disk. I am imaging most of you reading this blog, remembers using floppy disks? Did you ever think back then that there could ever be another way to move and transfer your files? Probably not. Then came the CD/DVD. You could move your files the same way, but smaller and more capabilities such as the ability to hold music and more data. Then came the flash/jump drive, where we could even hold more data than before!! In case you haven’t noticed. We don’t use floppy disk or CD’s to transfer date anymore and even USB drives are being outdated by the new USB 3. It will only be a matter of time before we don’t use flash drives anymore, we are already heading in that direction with Dropbox and PASS (which we are currently using to deliver most of your fabulous photos).
So here is a challenging thought? What if this was the only way to view your grandparents wedding Photos?
It would be really hard to look at the their photos. You could only hope they printed a couple photos, otherwise you would never know what they looked like on their wedding day because none of us have a computer that still works from 20 years ago. So my questions to you is, how do you want your children and grandchildren to be able to view your photos? Remember, technology is quickly advancing. Facebook + DVD’s are great to view pictures, but they might not always be around. So the thing we encourage our bride and grooms to best show their fabulous selves and wedding photos is in one of our awesome KISS Wedding books!
