The Ape of Naples posted:Did people say this bullshit when the camera was invented? To be fair the people who still bring cameras to those events are actually taking good pictures and are likely even professionals who get paid to do it. Also they have their own little section to take pictures from vs having some moron waving his iphone in my face trying to get a cinematic angle on the band from row 16.

 I usually take like one or two pictures with my phone when I'm at a show, just for memory's sake, and to post to facebook so people can be all jealous and poo poo. I always feel pretty anxious doing it, though: holding a really expensive piece of technology up in the air in a big crowd of writhing strangers. I can't imagine doing that with a tablet.

Sadly, this is what a lot of recent concerts I've been to look like. I've seen people shooting video with their phones and watching the concert through their phones instead. The stage is right loving in front of you! Watch that! CONTENT:

I have seen people posting this one lately, and I don't know why. Not when there is a far superior headline image to grab.

See, if they just sent that out as the justification for the badger cull, I'm sure it'd be much more popular.

Forget the whole "look at the stage instead of your phone" thing, it's super loving rude to hold something up in the air when there are people behind you.

Concert venues just need to put up a sign telling people the harsh truth: No one on your Facebook/Twitter is going to watch a video you recorded over 10 seconds long, and neither will you.

Although this is true, they're not doing it so much to put on Facebook, they're just desperate to somehow capture an ephemeral experience. They're thinking "this is happening to me now, and will never happen again, so I must hold onto it somehow". If/when Go-Pros and Google Glass become mainstream, this problem goes away because everyone will be recording with something strapped to their head.

People unable to appreciate experience for its own sake, ruining the experience itself in the attempt to bottle it for later enjoyment. If it's not on the internet it's not real! I'm going to live forever!

That's from The Stanley Hotel in Colorado, same place they filmed The Shining. I was there last year, they had the statue covered with a tarp because it was moose season with a sign warning people to stay away from it. It never stops being funny.

And was also unaware that a man named Stanley chose to shoot interiors at a hotel named Stanley. Wheels within wheels, man.

Brother Jonathan posted:Could be worser: Ugh, I went out to dinner a couple of weeks ago and the entire family beside our table was just like that. Looked like mom, dad, aunt, uncle, five kids between them, and grandpa; everyone except grandpa spent the entire time staring into their laps and screwing with their iPhone/android/iPad/PSP between poorly aimed bites of food. Grandpa looked dejected for a while then started reading a newspaper with a grouchy expression on his face.

I know a lady down the street whose family did that to her all the time. One day they all sat down to dinner and she served them each a 5x7 glossy of the dinner she made only for herself. Then she sat down and ate it in front of them. They didn't do that anymore after that (but she will never stop telling neighbors the story.)

"d[-.- posted:b" post="416586592"] Yeah, I know, but they're also a lot harder to hold on to and you can't just slip it in your pocket. i.e. Much easier to fumble and break.
