Just because you can document and share nearly every moment of your life doesn't mean you should. Stop worrying so much about stealing away with an image or a clip that perfectly crystallizes the night, like a trophy to collect, another document to catalog, and just experience it. Enjoy it. There's not a camera on the planet that can capture the way a concert makes you feel. Take one picture. Mark the occasion. Then put your goddamn camera down.

YES! This. I went to a Black Kids gig in Manchester early last year, and apart from being the oldest person in the room (not kidding) I also felt very out of place for not having a mobile or compact in my hand, filming the entire gig. What do they all do with all these videos?
I saw a factoid today that the amount of data captured/created by humans in 2009 surpasses the amount of data captured/created by humans in all years up to 2009, and I can well believe it.
