if a pair of binoculars were invented with the ability to recognise any bird viewed,would you buy them?or would it take away the fun of identification
Greetings!
I wouldn't buy them... I prefer my optics as simple as possible, with no electronics or other gizmos if possible.
Best wishes,

Would be a bit like having musical instrumets that anyone could play or eveybody being able to paint,write books,think it would take away any worth of your hobby,past-time,occupation, I am sure most Birders feel a sense of pride when they are able to pass on information to others,think about it what point would there be of this Birdforum if every Tom,Dick,or Harry could I.D. at the flick of a switch. indeed what would be the point of life (Bit heavy but I am sure members will get my meaning)
