Sources for "The cost of taking too many photos"
Well, for this video here, I mainly draw from Susan Sontag's ideas in her book "On Photography" (1977), and within that, mostly from chapter one, "In Plato's Cave".
I also draw on a scientific paper (doctoral thesis) that dives into the relationship between photography and memory: "The big picture: How the acts of taking and viewing photos can influence memory", by Andrew James Mills (2020).
For the statistics about TV use in the U.S. and the Vietnam War, I draw from an article from the national archives, titled "Vietnam: The First Television War" by Jessie Kratz (2018).
Lastly, I have some stats on use of photography in general, which I got from this Repsly data report.
