It’s in the Apps
Bree and Sara frequently spotlight how easily edited photos in the modern era can deceive us. Today’s apps possess a level of sophistication that can make even the most artificial filters appear entirely authentic. This remarkable technological capability has given rise to a paradox: we are inundated with manipulated images that often bear little resemblance to reality. Consequently, when we mistakenly perceive these falsified photos as genuine and endeavor to compare ourselves to them, we invariably fall short—regardless of the effort or diligence we invest.
This phenomenon underscores the imperative of discerning between the manipulated and the authentic, thereby averting the pernicious impact of unrealistic beauty ideals perpetuated by digitally altered images.
