an instant thought on instant photo sharing

Just a quick thought on Instagram.
I am a passionate Instagram user and lover of the app, don’t get me wrong, but as I scrolled through my feed the other day, I came to realise how it has made people less observant and even a little impatient (when what you want does not load in 0.3 seconds you start to consider what kind of world and century you live in that you have to deal with such atrocity), because of how you’re accustomed to scrolling quickly past photos and if you feel as though you like the look of a photo you double tap and like it instantly.
There are only a small percentage of people who actually take the time to look, observe, analyse a certain photo, even though many photos may have taken a long time to edit or create.

Next time you’re scrolling through Instagram, try and look at one photo for more than five seconds because you may see something you wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

(sidenote: I do not work for Instagram)
