Aging is a natural process in life. One day we will all grow old, wrinkly, and with gray hair. But along with these physical changes in our bodies, we'll also gain lots of memories and wisdom.
Thankfully, technology has enabled us to preserve these precious memories through photos and videos.
It allows us to recollect not only how we looked when we were younger, but also to reminisce about the good old days, unforgettable moments, good old friends and loved ones.
Whenever we look at old photos and videos, they instantly trigger nostalgia and we are somewhat teleported back to that time when they were taken.
Staring at these preserved memories serves as a chance for us to relive these precious moments.
Not only does it bring back memories and old emotions, but it also often serves as a great conversation starter.
Sometimes people laugh at the old fashion back in the days or how different they looked then, while some look at old photos and videos to reminisce about their younger selves and what life was like back then.
No wonder why #ThrowbackThursday, #FlashbackFriday, and #WaybackWednesday became popular and lasting trends on social media.
Aside from posting our own throwback photos and videos and reacting to the throwback posts of our friends and loved ones, many of us like seeing throwback photos of celebrities and personalities.
