I know you said you aren't into live music (concerts), but I should tell you that every time I go to a live show now, all I see is a sea of hands in the air, holding up their cell phones to record a video of the show. Does it take a rocket scientist to say "put down the phone and listen with your ears, watch with your eyes"? I guess your example is a lot more serious than a rock music show, but still I think the point is the same. We are becoming increasingly divorced from reality!
