Nowadays we have influencers on instagram showing their selfiesticked or quadcoptered adventures in HDR, which is then multiplied by mass media, or at least attempted to.
The thing is, i know a few places which get instagrammed a lot, and they almost never look the way i see them when i'm there, no matter which weather or daytime. It's not exactly fake, but photoshopped, enhanced into something entirely different, almost.
It's like the serving suggestion for instant/convenince/fast food which has nothing to do with reality.
Good points. I think because it was so new, and the last decade could be called the decade of the phone and the (social) app. Hopefully it will transform into something better, more meaningful. We as developers have a big role to play. Strike a better balance between privacy and public sharing, between what is your own vs selling yourself out as a product.
