All technology is an extension of ourselves.

The car is an extension of the legs. Headphones are an extension of the ears. The microphone is an extension of the voice.

The photograph is an extension of memory.

Go to the Eiffel Tower and spend the entire time taking photos. Later, when you try to remember the event — you’ll probably remember the photos and not your own experience being there.
