There was always a strong need in human race to document events happening in front of their eyes, even from the early days of the cave men.
With ubiquitous smart phones and their integrated cameras (plus social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Tweeter where one is motivated to share everything about themselves, or so it seems), looks like everybody today is taking a photo or filming a video of a thing happening if front of them. In doing so, sometimes, just sometimes, they might miss to experience that thing as it was supposed to. Instead they're just focused on their LCD screen.
Just like me, I guess, focused on mine. And theirs.
