the statistics show:

  • 2.5 billion content items shared
  • 2.7 billion Likes
  • 300 million photos uploaded
  • 500+ terabyte data ingested

Although it is not always what it seems as far as the likes are concerned, the 300 million photos do not lie.

Uploading images is now a way of sharing our lives, not just via Facebook, but a vast array of social media. We invite our friends, we make public our digital uploads.

The act of aestheticising the daily life we live is becoming ubiquitous.
