For who...? Part 2

      As the last post asked, "Is your Instagram for you, or your followers?" Are we posting pictures of our coffee cups to grab the attention of others around the world? Or are we posting photos as a personal diary to ourselves?

      Before Instagram, we used our brains, to keep the memory of the photos in our minds making it...well a memory. However with the conception of Instagram, we can now not only take a snapshot of the memory and keep it, but we can also publicly share it with people around the world. Not only that, gain acknowledgement  with likes and comments from other coffee connoisseur. 

      So are we getting closer, to the personal and the private? Are we using Instagram to control both? In the 21st century noting seems the be private. As we over share our interest with others about coffee and shoes, that makes is focus on our followers...right? 

      Not so fast, this is also interesting if you look at it from the other point of view. Where one use their Instagram for themselves but then with a strong following changes that motive. That motive comes with the internist of keeping there followers. With those two situations in mind, does everyone who uses Instagram want followers? 

      We don't always know, Instagram is just so tricky when it comes to the user. Each of us are so different from one another, that we probably will never know what came first. The chicken or the egg, or in this case the account holder or the follower. The world will never know.
