In Chapter 14 Skenazy and Pogue discuss photos and the process that many of us face in sharing them.  Skenazy’s article “Don’t Smile for the Camera” consists of defining the “Kodak moments” in life that many refer too.  However, she addresses the fact that these moments are really myths that we use to portray what we want our family and ourselves to look like to the other people who view them.  She also goes on to include that since we focus on the picture perfect moments that we have “lost the story of our lives” by not recording the images that have shaped who we are and how we have become the people that we are today.  Pogue’s article “Photo Sharing Even the Folks Can Handle” concentrates on the issues that people have with sharing photos over the internet due to the different technology uses between generations, and the limits and restrictions that the different websites have.  He goes through and explains the different features, benefits, and limitations of each website to attempt to bring the reader to the same conclusion as his for which site is the best and simplest to use.  Between these two articles the readers are able to see things in a different way, by being conscious of the “Kodak moments” that they capture and how they go about sharing them.
