This would allow anyone to post any photo taken immediately (with better quality that the camera in the iPhone :) In our rush to satisfy the urge (and the commercial drive) for instant gratification, we are forsaking the opportunity for 2nd thought and to edit our works. Is this truly a good thing? This period for 2nd thought has gotten progressively shorter since the day, if not before, of the Gutenberg press. It will soon approach 0. At this rate of technological change, (note I did not say progress) there will soon be eye camera implants which will show everything you see instantaneously. I am reminded of several science fiction novels which I've read over the years which postulates that one day, people will be able to sell their sensory experiences in real time. A voyeur's idea of heaven for sure.
