All three of my children love to take pictures with our little digital camera, the one I don’t mind that they use.  My youngest especially likes to take pictures of anything and everything – and why not, I can always delete the unnecessary close-ups and blurred images.

I’ve noticed that as soon as he takes a picture, my son immediately clicks the camera option to view the image.  He wants to see the photo he just snapped. He even wants to see the photos I take with the camera as soon as I have taken the picture.

Aren’t we all like that in a way?  I almost always view the image as soon as the photo-op is complete.

Yet another way that digital photography is superior.  No waiting for photo development.  And with the delete button, no wasting time or money developing poor quality photo images.  We get to see the image as soon as it is snapped.  No more embarrassing pictures of half-closed eyes or silly faces in the photo album.  We get to see the product of our labor instantaneously.  Let’s hear it for instant gratification!
