OC for ME
Regular Member
How is this OC related? Well, and this could be a really big stretch, I am guessing that I need to ditch the video recording and go with a audio recording only. I've been getting lazy and I think my subconscious mind is relying on the video to do my remembering for me. But, when OCing, a video recording will counter my faulty memory because the camera holds no bias.I had to think about this one for a minute and find myself agreeing with the premise and the conclusions of the researchers.....but, this is just me.
Despite helping to record events, photos could damage our memories
Researchers found people who take pictures have trouble remembering what actually happened
This phenomenon has been dubbed 'photo-taking impairment effect'

A dilemma I am have with myself it seems.
Anyway, I do realize now that when I take a photo of my older son in a wrestling match I find it difficult to remember the exact scene and must go to the photo to recreate the moment in my mind's eye.
