I have grown up in a generation that has seen many technological advancements in just a few years. Looking back to my childhood, which was not that long ago, I can vividly remember the CD players with the large and rather goofy looking headphones. One of the largest growths that this generation has seen is most definitely the camera. We no longer have to buy a disposable camera with a limited amount of film, take a picture with no clue what it looks like and then go to the closest CVS to develop the film. Cameras are literally with us all the time now. Our phones are equipped with the highest megapixels possible giving us the best pictures to capture the moment in front of us.

The biggest moment of our lives can be recorded or captured by anyone at anytime, thanks to cameras. I see this as both a curse and a blessing. Sure it is great to have this moment forever but instead of looking with our eyes we look through a lens. Every event, vacation, concert, or vacation that people go to there are hundreds, thousands and sometimes millions of pictures taken. There is not a need to go to a concert anymore because every snapchat friend all ready recorded it for you. Why bother going to a friend's birthday when you can see the pictures his mom put of Facebook? I think my generation has looked through a lens of a camera so much that reality of what they could actually see is gone. We never live in the moment instead try to make that moment last forever. As for my generation I say we go back to look with our eyes instead of through the looking lens and not miss the moments that are right in front of us.
