What would Charles think?

"Eww...I knew the media distorted and altered pictures, but I guess I never thought about how much they change the neck and eyes".

"Power of technology, why not take advantage? Those that don't want to be unhealthy won't do these types of things...others will just die a few years earlier".

Question #1: Do you think that physical appearance is or will be the basis for discrimination? Is this the new racism?

"This makes me wonder how they would change my picture?"

Question #2: How do you think they would change your picture? Exactly who is they? and ultimately why are "they" changing it?

    people will be striving for the beauty that is defined by the media but will never get there as it is created by a computer so why even put that defination of beauty in peoples minds? it will only lead to lower self esteem and morality in the people of our country

    Beauty is a mediated idea - meaning, it is what the media shows you it is.
