My good old kodak

Today's abundance of cheap digital storage in the form of tiny memory cards put literally no bounds on the number of images one can capture with one's digital camera or camera phone during an event. However, studies have shown that taking many pictures may actually make us remember less of a particular event. In this position paper, we propose to re-introduce the paradigm of old film camera in the context of modern smartphones. The purpose is to investigate how users will behave when a significant capture limitation is imposed in a picture-taking context, and in what kind of pictures this will result. Ultimately, we are interested in the effect on memory recall of such a limitation, and describe a potential study setup that will help us explore this question.
