I like where your head is at man! Those push up bras, mini skirts and other things that make women as lovely as they are could most certainly be some of my favorite inventions by far!
This is a cool topic and an interesting one for sure. Let's see what I can think of for an entry!
I am going to go with a camera at being one of my favorite inventions. It's really a special tool that allows you to be in a moment and just steal the briefest spec of time in that moment and potentially immortalize it for years, decades and over a hundred years. Jury is still out on that since the camera's were just invented less than 200 years ago so we have yet to reach the maximum age of a photograph! The pictures taken really allow you to catalog something in your mind about that particular moment nearly for as long as you live depending on the picture. Some of the pictures we've taken while traveling in Italy, I remember almost exactly what was going on in that moment, where we were, what we were doing and thinking and what came before and after that to an extent. I think that's one of the coolest things that have been invented in my opinion!
I'm glad you agree...Those enhancements take the beauty that is there naturally and makes them fucking awesome! Lol.
The camera is a legit invention and it's hard to imagine a world without them. Of course these days every one has one in their phone but it wasn't that long ago when taking photos wasn't as prevalent. A little further back and most of the world had never seen one! It's difficult to believe now. The memories a photo can bring back, as you say, is amazing...So powerful.
So, that's a good choice I'd say! Nice work.

Ah yes, the natural curves of the women and accentuated by those thin articles of cloth!
It's good to have the cameras on our smart phones, it has certainly made things convenient and easy but I am still of the type who loves to use an actual camera, mid-range DSLR or just a quick point and shoot digital. They are a lot of fun and have captured some of the fondest memories I have! Without them I could certainly remember the things but the picture nearly instantly brings you back to the moment and I think that ability is truly amazing.
I use my phone camera a lot, probably 80% of the time...It's just easier as you say.
ENGAGEtokens.That'd be a really tough choice for me to argue with. About 150 years the camera has been around and the changes are just profound.
It has not changed History so much as it has changed the way we SEE history. Matthew Brady's battlefield dead in the Civil War for example. And it seems that everybody alive today has been permanently recorded on a camera...
Yeah I don't think it's changed history per se but it has certainly changed the way we think of things. Some of the most iconic photographs like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima (spelling?), the march on Washington for Civil Rights and so many others all captured and etched in the brains of millions. I think I might have seen the Civil War picture but I will check to make sure I am thinking of the right one!
Cameras immortalize the moments we live. They are a fabulous invention and it's impressive how much they have evolved since their creation. It is really impressive what we can do with them today, I can't imagine what they will be like in 20 years.
Yeah I know, cameras are incredible! I think things have largely come as far as they can with the lenses and all that and smart phone cameras can get a little better. I think memory and all that will improve over time but there are certain things in technology that have come a long way but have kind of hit their plateau since it's not vastly important to improve it more than it is. Perhaps some of the accessories will get a little cheaper, which wouldn't be the worst I guess!
That's a good point, although the level of technology evolution never ceases to amaze me 😊.
I'm totally here for this!!
As a shutterbug (yes I felt like it was time to use that term) myself I'm aware how pictures bring back memories or even feelings. It's a powerful thing!
And since I grew up with pictures and I had them as help or as proof... I wonder how people did it back in the day...
I mean was there memory just better? Did they have more imagination cause they were forced to 'picture' something based on words or a drawing? Or did memories just fade........
I have so many questions!
It's all relative of course but many people did have a bit larger of a hippocampus (I think that's the region, the same region that used to be incredibly prominent in taxi drivers who had such a vast memory of where streets and places were, their particular part of the brain that involved long term memory was significantly larger than most people) because they had to actually remember things. The internet web search generation has smaller memory capacity because many just don't remember things since they can just web search it. I've fallen victim to it a little bit myself but try as hard as I can not to do that!
Shutterbug was totally the right use here! I love when things like that happen, we bust out old terms lol nice!
