Filming our life away

Some lucky fan wins the Foo Fighters to play in his garage.
Now he will (and his friends) enjoy that moment for ever. With the advent of technology we can make sure we capture this.

Watching the video, a fair few people are recording the event. Which means they are not getting mental to the band. Are we recording moments that we should be enjoying?

Are we capturing the moment on film to prove we were there. Are the stories no longer enough, a photo after?

I have been to a few gigs and found myself watching a song through the screen of a mobile as I try to record the song. Missing the point that I am there. They are playing this song now, not just on the record.

I get the feeling of hundreds of others enjoying the same thing I do.

What should we do? Well I am not sure we should do anything, but maybe we need to enjoy our own lives when they are happening and not try to film them to remember later....
