Why Liine

For 400 years, families have looked for better ways to remember.

  1. 1600s

    Portraits for the few

    Wealthy and royal families hired painters to record who they were. One portrait could take weeks.

  2. Late 1800s

    The camera comes home

    Black-and-white cameras came to market. Ordinary families could finally have their photograph taken.

  3. 1900s
    Square instant print with a white border: a group of children in Halloween costumes on a driveway, 1964

    Color, then digital

    Color film, then digital cameras, put a camera in nearly every home. Shoeboxes of prints became folders of files.

  4. Today

    Social media

    A camera in every pocket. Every moment can be posted, shared and seen in seconds.

Which brings us to a question

Is social media helping us be more social?

We have more photos than any generation before us. But a memory is more than a picture: it's who was there, what they said, and why it mattered. With unlimited access, are we building more memories, or making them harder to keep?

Twenty years from now, what will your child actually be able to find?
