Reading through the essay, I particularly liked the argument that stated, "Wealthy eighteenth-century English travelers used technology to mediate and pictorialize their experiences of nature just as Instagrammers today hold up their phones and deliberate over filters." Such a statement connects and presents the continuity of aesthetics and nature through time and different mediums. Thematically and symbolically, Instagram influencers and high-status individuals would put their best efforts into transmitting a message of idealism to the world through their lifestyle and what they selectively showed. In Berger's Ways of Seeing, this idea is more so shared through marketing tactics. However, nowadays, marketing is intentional through social media advertisements and is more commonly intertwined into everyday life. Yet through the chronological differences, the insincere and superficial intentions remained present. It's strategic and purposefully alters human perception to incite an inner calling to act a certain way, live up to unrealistic standards, or feel a sense of exclusion and the consequential need to belong. Although both messages are evoked through different mediums and times, the underlying message of a specific ideal in society prevails.
