a “Kodak moment”

Facebook is fast becoming the photo album of the 21st century whilst the iPhone is the “snapshot camera” of today. Photos create value for Facebook. There will still be kodak moments, but there may no longer be a Kodak. Those Kodak moments are now Facebook moments.

Susan Sontag noted in On Photography, “The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people’s reality, and eventually in one’s own”. The digital camera is now being replaced by the smart phone.
