Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Digital photography has undeniably transformed how we capture and share memories, particularly those from our travels. While previously limited by film rolls, travellers now freely capture thousands of images without the worry of cost or developing. This abundance, however, has sparked debate on its impact on genuine experience and memory.
Some argue that the constant focus on capturing the "perfect shot" for social media leads to a detachment from the present moment. Instead of truly absorbing the sights, smells, and emotions of a place, individuals become preoccupied with documenting it through a lens. This, they believe, results in shallower memories, more reliant on revisiting photographs than recalling the lived experience.
Conversely, others argue that digital photography enhances travel memories. The ease of snapping countless pictures allows for capturing minute details often overlooked: a local''s expression, a unique architectural detail, a fleeting sunset hue. These images, readily accessible on our devices, act as visual cues, triggering vivid sensory memories and conversations long after the trip has ended.
Ultimately, the impact of digital photography on travel memories is subjective and depends on individual behaviour. Being mindful of our photographic habits, however, can lead to a more balanced approach, allowing us to document our journeys without sacrificing genuine engagement with the world around us.
