[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had 2 close friends pass away and 1 I have not picture of us together, the other I have 1 because I posted it on FB.

Insta and FB help me see what my friends and family are doing... my family is very large and impossible to track... just found out my nephew moved from instagram post. I have over 25 nieces and nephews.

I enjoy seeing them and looking at them and so do my friends.

I'm not doing anything that amazing so no need to be jealous.

I also print a photo album yearly from it.

why does anybody take pictures? Why do cameras even exist?

Instagram/Facebook are not good ways to share photos with friends and family unless profiles are limited to those people. Many people's accounts are either public or they are connected to a lot more people than just friends or family, so when you post you are sending that photo to a huge community of people including colleagues, old classmates, neighbors, etc. People who don't really need that info. This is the technological equivalent of distributing your personal photos in the town square to anyone you encounter. Most of those people don't need to see those photos.

It is very easy in this day and age to share photos with just friends and family, via locked down social media accounts or simply using text. That is what many of us do in order to preserve privacy and also to prevent the kind of brag-sharing people are talking about on this thread.

If you didn't know your nephew moved until he posted about it on Instagram, you are not very close and he likely did not care if you knew.[/quote]
