> And, after all, wasn't that kind of the original purpose for a photograph? To capture an awesome moment you want to memorize?
Good point, but it wasn't until somewhat recently that the camera taking those photographs had a virtually endless supply of film. I think there's a HUGE difference between taking a couple of pictures to remember the event and literally spending the entire evening watching through your phone's screen.
It reminds me of the scene in Ocean's 13 where they demolish the casino right behind Don Cheadle, but he's watching it on TV instead of turning around.
The difference your thinking of is called percentage of time used. For instance, I also liked taking pictures at a concert I went to, I didn't do it to brag though, in fact they never touched the internet. (Okay technically they were dropbox synced, but I digress.) It would seem to me that most everything can be done with reason and in moderation without it becoming bad.
