Nursing home: what are the important conclusions we made after the flash mob on aging
Social media feeds began to resemble a nursing home. You open and see aged user images.
The stars also supported her, who, unashamedly, showed what they could become in thirty years. Fans also got involved in the business, 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, in which you just need to upload a photo and get an “aged” image after processing the filters. For experiments with Faceapp, that’s what the application created by the programmer Yaroslav Goncharov calls it, even the leading central television channels went live, moreover, broadcast live news.
Sociologists could not help but pay attention to the trend, and here 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, conventionality, and ladies of Balzac age say that they will have time to look at themselves in old age.
There are several conclusions from all this.
1. Old age is in fashion, and they no longer fear it. Moreover, they began to laugh at her. And this is generally not bad, because it suggests that people have a healthier attitude towards processes that are inevitable.
2. People do not know how to control themselves. Absolutely. It is worth something to fall into the category of the actual, as everyone rushes headlong, trying it, trying on yourself.
3. Applications are becoming part of our lives, but their benefits are becoming less and less. In the smartphone of almost every Russian there is so much “garbage” that is not needed for everyday life, that only a miracle remains to be given - why does he need all this? And the application that 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 photos in general and in particular unknown. Attempts to look into the future, which have always been undertaken by mankind - this is what FaceApp is.
Of course, he modestly kept silent about how many millions had enriched over the past few days. And of course, neither he, nor you and I can answer the question of whether we need it at all.
