Chapter 3

This chapter was extremely interesting to read. There were things he stated that I would never have thought to even do. Such as at the beginning of the chapter it was funny when he talked about the tourist going to Europe and instead of visiting the popular tourist spots and getting a picture in front of it, another idea is to photoshop yourself in it and then spend that time doing other things that you would better appreciate. He even went as far as to suggest to send out the photos before you leave for the trip so they arrive by the time you are on vacation which I found quite amusing. It's interesting to think that actually people probably do that! He just talked out the immense amount of pictures taken at the popular tourist spots and people using that data for cool project and things at universities. What he talked about that intrigued me the most was it would be an idea to use the same database that allowed photographers to see what had been there in the past. Such as what once was a forrest of trees is now a new apartment complex. That would be super cool!
