MODERATORS
In my opinion, phone cameras are usually used to capture a memory, not a moment. Memories are idealistic and inaccurate, so I don't think it's a problem that a way of "storing memories" is also inaccurate.
Even the best camera is just an approximation of the moment, so articles like this are just pseudo-intellectual wanking.
But it matters for a couple of different reasons.
Instagram and the search for perfection is already ruining our teenagers self-worth.
Also, news have to try to deal with facts. Lots of news will come from mobile phone cameras.
