"Nursing home": what important conclusions we made after the flash mob about aging
Social media feeds began to resemble a nursing home. You open and see aged user images.
The stars also supported her, who, without hesitation, showed what they can become in thirty years. The fans also joined in, artificially aging and publishing pictures of their idols, among the “aged” were not only athletes and actors, but also the pride of Russia - the poet Pushkin, as well as President Putin.
It's all the fault of the application, into which you just need to upload a photo and get an "aged" image after processing by filters. To experiment with Faceapp, this is how the application created by the programmer Yaroslav Goncharov is called, even the leading central TV channels went live, and news broadcasts were broadcast live.
Sociologists could not help but pay attention to the trend, and these are the conclusions they came to.
Most often, men who are now in middle age want to see themselves in old age. Women rarely go to such an experiment. Young ladies are sure that all this is nonsense, convention, and the ladies of Balzac's age say that they will still have time to see enough of themselves in old age.
There are several conclusions drawn from all this.
1. Old age is in vogue, and they have ceased to be afraid of it. Moreover, they began to laugh at her. And this is generally not bad, because it suggests that people have a healthier attitude towards the processes that are inevitable.
2. The people do not know how to control themselves... At all. As soon as something falls into the category of actual, everyone rushes, headlong, to try it, to try it on.
3. Apps are becoming a part of our lives, but their benefits are diminishing. In the smartphone of almost every Russian there is so much "garbage" that is not needed for everyday life, that only a wonder can only be given - why does he need all this? And the application we are talking about now is no exception.
By the way, the creator of the application, Yaroslav Goncharov, explained the popularity of his "brainchild" quite simply - people became interested in photographs in general and the unknown in particular. Attempts to look into the future, which have always been undertaken by humanity - that's what FaceApp is.
He, of course, modestly kept silent about how many millions he had enriched in the past few days. And of course, neither he nor you and I can answer the question whether we need it at all.
