Hey, uncle, Dad, check out this
photo that popped up my phone this morning; it's pretty cool.
they were seated across and
beside him he angled it so they could
see it at once
it was a selfie of his nephew at
a campsite a glittering lake behind him his beard must have been four inches long a Grizzly Adams shot if ever one was taken
Actually, Dad a droll disdain registeringthough not
divisive obviously a point of contention
obviously a father-son son-father dig the
bar was above the lake, above the river that fed the lake.
I never saw your beard that
long When did you work in Idaho
Five, five six years ago . .
this summer . I think.
Nice beard
Thank you.
Though you know me Im confused
I know your Dad to often be confused but I think its the disorientationthe dark to
sudden bright that coincides when he pulls his head out of his ass Ostriches aint got nothing on your old man
his nephew laughed
I don’t appreciate being the butt
of a joke.
But you wear it so
wellhowever if I may returning to the photograph and that itlemme
know if Im understanding correctly the
photograph self- if you will selfpopulated on your phone
Yes.
I store my pictures in the iCloud.
Ive heard of it
Your uncle wouldn’t know an iCloud from a rain cloud.
Maybe from a raincloud but not a fogbank I-Cloud you say
I store, automatically, all my
photographs in the Cloud.
So photographs can selfpopulate
A clever feature, I think, that
Apple provides its users, if they wish; for me it’s a nice surprise throughout
the day to be randomly reminded, see glimpses of times gone by.
You gonna tell your nephew Let
bygones be bygones?
You have to realize your uncle
doesn’t own a camera; he doesn’t take pictures.
I do not Never much cared being behind a camera I rather think people who take pictures are
doing so because they donwanna be in front of it like your old man
Yes, uncle.
Thank you Does it automatically populate video
Yes.
Look . . . Mikey . he gets it!
Nice Life cereal I aint thick
though I think you might both be however
more so or more likely to Tommys deficit
Mine? How so uncle?
Your old mans long in the tooth he shifted in his seat again
displeased being called old an likely his endearing
modesty hes a nice guy wouldnt have him
taking nudes of a girlfriend or recording sex acts yaknow for shits and gigglesright
How long has this technology been
available
Nearly ten, yeah, I’d say ten
years.
Wow Didnt have a clue Youve been married five years
Almost six.
Now a really innarestin kitchen table chat will ensue Why do you still have that picture on your phone?
Random population
Two words for you Tommy Deep Learning I know that much
