So it is that time of year again where Facebook gets flooded with holiday photos from Europe. Hundreds a day chock your news feed no matter if you want them to or not. Yes we all know you are overseas, but your photos are overtaking my Farmville notifications, how will I know what virtual crops my friends have just planted.
The thing I fine the most intriguing is that most of the pictures are up loaded while the person is still overseas. So I asked a few people, and it turns out that my theory was correct; these people are uploading the pictures to Facebook and then whipping the camera memory clean so to take more photos, but it does not end at this. Some people store all there pictures on Facebook with no other backups. Am I the only one shocked by this? Most people still won’t shop on line because they don’t trust it with your credit card number, but your priceless memories are fine?
If you think storing your images on the internet is safer then storing them on your computer then you are wrong, the internet is just as volatile as a computer’s hard drive if not more so. And that expensive camera you paid $500 to $1000 for, that takes super high quality pictures, well Facebook is going to shrink them down till they look like you took them on your camera phone.
Here is a tip for all you people about to take a trip overseas. Spend a little less money on the camera, so that you can buy some extra memory cards instead of using Facebook to store them. Because remember Facebook is not going to be around forever.
