What does she look like?
A story written by Jatin during the workshop we ran at IxD21
In a world where*
- Increase in tourism to see attractions IRL rather than rely on photographs
- Location tracking is normal / technology used to map all visited locations in the world
- Cameras are expensive and are potentially seen as ‘luxury items’. The more that are sold, the more redundant/obsolete they become.
How does a dating experience look like?
Chatting to her for the 4th time but still don’t know how she looks. Photography rules, you know! I just hate them. On the flip side, I love the way she describes herself. And honestly not seeing her keeps the mystery aspect alive.
Last time she was talking about her Europe trip but couldn’t click any photographs due to time concerns. She had decided to visit all the popular places she had seen in movies but of course, there were no photographs left at those locations.
She wrote about those places in her journal and I think I was able to get a much deeper look at how she feels/likes/dislikes than I could’ve ever gotten by looking at photographs. I felt ready. Hey, listen — “Wanna hang out sometime?”
