Discovered: A look into the cloud

"This is a camera?" Asked my grandmother, when I recently shot with the new Galaxy Photos on her 93rd birthday and showed her the existing images on the built-in display. Landscapes, crystal clear and precise. Looks into the clouds. A few cats photos. A toad in the pond with Zoom. You could see the wrinkled skin furrows individually. "That's a computer!" Grandmother kept saying, if you could only see the back of. From the front, the "snapping", it was a camera for them. But from behind, they remained, "which is a computer!" While severe dementia has sad pages that light, natural dementia of old age is often a hotbed great clarity. Grandmothers then tell the truth, like children. And the truth is: This camera is a computer. It may sound conservative, but she has too much of everything. Applications without end, even for mail, chat and Skype. She urges a formally to be to link in with Facebook or Dropbox, and without account and account of course nothing works. The device itself is beyond reproach. Beautifully crafted, heavy in the hand, stable, great pictures, many processing options and just the overwhelming panoramic view of the large display. The question is, however, raises - I want that? These over-complexity of the options? This self-evident link my personal photography with the network? Therefore are cameras like this in the wider context of development, in which the upcoming Google glasses is or the fact that our cars soon know everything about us and our ride and share it equally with various institutions. But above all, remains as gripe compared to the previous model: IF I all want, popping my pictures directly to the server of Facebook & Co, instead of shoveling in my box alone Offline via memory card - why I have then in this model no UMTS more? For where I stand, if I immediately want to do a post on Facebook with enthusiasm? In the mountains! Or on the beach! Somewhere far out, where with luck UMTS is in the air, but surely is not a Wi-Fi spot near. Since then I wait so with the transfer ... and doing it rather in the hotel rooms via the same memory card. If I in my "computer" menus not verzettele me.
