Life in Pictures: Instagram

Documenting every day life and events has been a crucial part of how we are able to understand the past and piece together history as well as how we leave footprints for the future to follow. Some of the earliest ways we humans did this was using images- paintings, drawings, carvings. Before we had a language to communicate with, we would use pictures. This is no different from today.

There's a new (I say new, but it's been out for a while now) app out called Instagram that allows you to take a photo with your smart phone, quickly edit it using a few hip filters, and share it with the world. With all the social media already out there, and you've probably heard me rant about it, I didn't see any use for yet another. But, to my surprise, after being encouraged (pressured) by some friends, I decided to install it- and I love it. 

I'm still a newbie to the whole community, but it's a wonderful and bright world to share things, places, and experiences. The best part? You don't have to think about what to write with it- allow me the cliché of "A picture is worth a thousand words."

In short, I suport and believe in the app myself and will continue to use and grow with its community. And so should you.
