Instagram kills in us creativity

Instagram - a powerful tool that allows you to stand out and show individuality. But we no longer notice the opportunity.
User under the name Oliver KMIA after a trip to Rome has posted a video network with cutting photos from various Instagram-accounts. The result was somewhat disappointing.
"I was shocked by a mass of people who were walking around the city. I was one of them, no better and no worse. Like all visitors, I burned a hundred gallons of fuel to get to run fast to the sights and stay in the hotel. Then I remembered the video artist HiérophanteI saw a few months ago. And I decided to do the same sarcastic video, but with a focus on travel and mass tourism ", - says Oliver.
The video begins with pictures of foreign passports, then the course is an airplane wing. Then the most interesting - an infinite number of photos taken with a view, in the same positions and with the same filters. Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, Machu Picchu and the Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Japan - all these batteries become memorable place to Like and repost. As a mandatory element of the portfolio Traveler serve food photos, selfie in the mirror and legs.
Experiences are no longer unique.
Frankly, for me, the aircraft wings also have a strange attraction, and in Prague, I tried to "hold" tram on the palm (it did not work very much). Sam Oliver believes social networking is just a tool. He says that by examining photos in Instagram, was able to find some really interesting inspiring accounts.
Remember the TV series "Black mirror». Life revolves around the social networks of the third season in the first series. Creativity and bold decision to replace a sham and the pursuit of other people's approval. We do not just copy each other, and to adjust to the pattern, because it's easier.
Each of us is unique, with their opinions and views on life. Perhaps it is time to stop licking the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the photos and make memorable images that will reflect your personality.
