Chapter 6. Slideshow Sharing Your Photos Onscreen



It's kind of funny that in this digital day and age, we still use the term "slide show," even though traditional slides are nearly as outdated as records. For example, my 9-year-old son has never seen a record album. For him, music has always come from either CDs or iPods. Although I have many photographic slides, my son has never seen a real slide show using real conventional color slides. But it's not just him. I speak at conferences and tradeshows, and if I walked into the room where I was scheduled to speak and asked the class moderator where the slide projector was, he'd look at me like I was from Mars. Yet, Adobe Lightroom still uses this term. So, today, in this very book I'm suggesting that not only should we, in the photography industry, use a different term for what was previously called a slide show, but I actually want to propose the new term. I have crafted a new word that I feel better represents the experience of viewing photographic images onscreen, and thus I'm quite certain this term will be quickly and unilaterally embraced by the worldwide photographic community. It's "flobotnor" (flow·bot·nore). So, once it's officially adopted (any day now, I'm sure), you'll see future releases of Lightroom where the Slideshow module will have been renamed the Flobotnor module. Of course, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that not only were you there when it all happenedyou helped shape modern history. These are amazing times, my friend. Amazing times, indeed.
