Memories are something that we capture and express in many different ways. These ways have changed throughout time and have become easier and easier. Other than using the mind to remember something, thousand years ago people captured memories through paintings, songs, stories, statues, sculptures, writings, and other various ways. The years went on and photography was another development. Video came after that and blew everything out of the water. After some years, and Al Gore’s help, the Internet came along and merged every single type of way for people to express their memories. Sites like YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Wordpress, and many others were created to help people store and share their videos, pictures, thoughts, works of art, and lives. It is incredibly easy for someone to make a video of what they are doing at that very moment in time anywhere in the world because of our technology. We just take out our smart phones and capture our media, upload it in an app that puts it on every social media site, edit our caption, and then see the responses of people we know in various states and countries. Ways to capture our memories have become ways for us to share our lives as we are living them. This innovation of technology has made it easy for us to capture our memories and share them with people. It is invaluable, when you can sit down at the computer and watch videos that you have made and almost relive your life. I took the time to sit down and watch all of the video blogs (vlogs) that I have made for the band. These cover the past two years of my life, and they bring back so many awesome memories. I have been able to travel to different states, see different sites, be involved in really cool opportunities, and enjoy life while doing something I love.  I plan to continue documenting our bands progress and fun. Five years from now, I can’t wait to watch all of the fun things that have happened in my life and how my life has made a difference. Make your memories count. Mike
