There are many individuals who, I believe, see this as a way to earn income and fame. People dancing, pranking, posing, dressing up and so on it is like a different world for me. I am astounded with the amount of people’s video clips that show up on my sites’ feeds. I know I am more old school, but I do not see the fascination of posting things about myself on social media sites. Sure, some dishes look great but unless one is going to try and reproduce it, I am not clear why one would want to have a photo of it. Restaurants are a popular location for people to snap pix of their food I am not sure why they do it. Why couldn’t people just allow themselves to enjoy the show and let it settle into their minds, to become a fond memory? CAPTURING AN EVENT ON “FILM” IS not exclusive to concerts everywhere I look, there is someone snapping a photo. If I had been sitting on the main floor, I would have had a fight with the people in front of me if they had been using their phones. I found it distracting because I did not pay good money to have these phones waving in the air. It could not have been comfortable to hold one’s arms up for such a long time.

I sat there and wondered how many photos did a person need of their favorite band? It was crazy instead of sitting there and enjoying the music, everyone was focused on capturing the musicians with their phones. Everywhere I looked there were people with their arms up, pointing their phone cameras to the stage. As the band was performing, it seemed as if every person around me was watching the group through the screen of their phone as they were snapping photos and videos. The place was packed with fans, and I was there with a couple of friends. Gratefully the venue had stadium seating otherwise, I would have been ticked off with all the phone screens blocking my view. I WAS DEFINITELY IN THE MINORITY at the concert.
