Why Do We Take Photos We Never Look At Again?

I was laughing internally when you were talking about the flower, you know, 20 pictures of the same flower and it's like, why? And then when you need to delete some, you're like, oh my God, I don't know which one to delete.

And it feels so hard, doesn't it?

It's like which angle of this random flower is better? What do I keep? I know, it's crazy.

Have you heard of digital hoarding?

Yeah.

That's pretty much like that, isn't it? Where it's just, you don't want to get rid of stuff.

Like for some reason you'll find like a picture of a box or something like that, or like a spider in the corner of the room.

And it's like, oh, I can't delete that because that was a moment.

That was a thing that happened at that time.

And then, yeah, you end up just having an unlimited amount of stuff that you just really do not need.

Exactly.

Yeah.

So for those of you that maybe haven't heard of digital hoarding, it's also sometimes known as e-hoarding.

And it's essentially the excessive collection and reluctance to delete digital files, emails or apps.

So this can include photos, which is obviously the focus of our conversation today.

But even things like emails, I'm thinking about the emails that I have.

You don't want to see my inbox.

I mean, I can probably tell you right now, actually, just by opening my email app.

I don't know, Abby, whether we could compare.

Uh-huh.

I'm looking at mine.

I'm trying to find where you see how many.

I mean, mine just says 99 plus now because I think it doesn't even want to give me the number of unopened emails.

Yeah,

mine's unopened ones, I think.
