What do you see when you look into the mirror? You don't like those ears that are too big, or eyes that are too small, or wrinkles that are too deep. We used to look at ourselves through the cameras of our smartphones. They have many filters that will help remove those flaws from your face and then you'll feel better. Maybe our next step should be a mirror with an integrated filter that you like? Would it make our life better if we always saw the person we would like to look like? What memories do we get about our lives then? Would it be a story of our lives or will we forget who we are?
