Sony Party Foul
Sony recently announced a new gadget, the Sony Party Shot. It is “an automatic photographer.” I love taking party pictures and I can see this is a little far fetched. Their press release describes it as “an innovative camera dock that pans 360 degrees and tilts 24 degrees, automatically detects faces, adjusts composition and takes photos for you.” Is this really what the world is coming to? People are too lazy to take their own pictures? I think taking pictures is half the fun.
The press release justifies the gadget’s existence saying “This device makes it easy to capture more natural expressions and fun, candid moments of you, your family and friends without having to hire a photographer.” Yes, it does make it easier if you don’t mind a little robot in the middle of your table spinning and flashing at you without warning. Sounds to me like another drunken party guest.
