Black Mirror, Blank Mirror

in #smartphones6 years ago (edited)

Pre-coffee musings.

I noticed that some young women, mainly of the sort that take a selfie every 10 minutes under the mistaken apprehension they are more interesting than their surroundings, use the screen and front-facing camera of their smartphones as a make-up mirror.

There's probably a special app for that, as most of them strike me as too stupid to have come up with the idea themselves. You know the type.

So now they don't have to carry a little mirror around anymore, and can delegate yet another part of their lives to their smartphones. Nothing new there, nothing to see, move along.

But it did make me wonder.

As a smartphone is not a proper mirror, could a vampire use it instead of a mirror or would there still be nothing on the screen because they use it as a mirror?

I think this is a question of some importance to future generations of film makers.

Would a really smart smartphone in mirror-mode just show this if you're a vampire?

I want an answer. And coffee. Loads of the stuff.

Sort:  

hahahha
who needs a mirror when you're a vampire?
they do use a phone though wahahaha

as for those who likes taking selfies
it's okay if they're pretty
but not everyone's pretty in some beholder's eye
so ... I think I'd park here before I commit some unkindness lol

It's like cutting with a knife: "Always photograph away from you". That's my motto, and I'm sticking to it.

Yeah, coffee will work ;0)

You're not perchance a vampire who could test this for me, are you?

Ah, coffee is ready.

That knocking at your door is me with my big vampire teeth, cc won't you invite me in?

I can't, the missus won't let me rub myself down with garlic paste. She gets like that sometimes.

Good post. Congratulation
