Photos n memory

Its been a long time since my last post. Laziness. Procrastination. U name it. I have used it to delay writing some more gibberish here. "Lucky me" u think? Well, not anymore. Nonstop nonsense is back.

One of my friends used to say (Im not sure if he still does) - "Camera is the best invention after the wheel".
I need not beg to differ. Most of you would. Look at it. A camera runs on many things - are they not as important as the camera. Its like saying "a computer is the best electronic device" What about the transistors, tubes, and silicon wafers that have all been used in it? Right?

Yes, it does serve an important purpose - the other day i used my digicam to take fotos of our new family member (also a member of the feline family) and even videos. I cherish them too. But then will they be the same fun and amusement to someone who hasn't seen it (live)? Obviously not. And as far as I am concerned I can clearly recollect everything - so no need of a foto. I never gave any importance to that statement(out of indifference) and now I know I never will (I dont believe it now).

And its even more doubtful when you look at the word "invention". How can man invent? We can only discover. But, more on this later. For now, what do you say?
