I misplaced my camera somewhere between moving into my new apartment this past fall and the holiday season. I have little hope of finding it at the point (as I’ve searched every crevice I can think of, and no luck) so now it has become a question of “do I need it?” I, like every red-blooded American, have a smart phone equipped with a fairly good camera and I realized during my trip to Australia that often it was easier to whip out my phone than dig for my carefully secured and protected digital camera.
There is also the argument that we all live life looking through a viewfinder anymore and thus do not really enjoy life. This leads me to whether I should take my computer. I shelled out quite a pretty penny for my MacBook just over a month ago.
All things considered, it appears that taking my phone alone is the more savvy choice.
- It will help me avoid those time sucks like Farmville 2 (something I could do in an American prison, so why do it while spending my life savings to be in Europe?)
- I can pull pictures right from my phone to the Internet instead of messing with cords and such to get them from my camera to my computer to the world wide web.
- The money saved from purchasing a new camera can help pay for my roaming fees.
- The number one priority for all free travelers: SPACE!!! My phone takes up less than half as much space as my camera, let alone my laptop.
