context: I don't think people are referring to taking photos for the most part. It's long videos people take(like at concerts) while looking through the phone that people criticize. >
  
  I agree with this. >
  
  I was on a boat in Paris, and the guy next to me never stopped taking pictures and videos. I will stand by the assertion that he missed out.  The whole point in getting on that boat was to BE ON THE BOAT.  Anyone can get pictures of the stuf he was recording----and probably better ones than he was taking.
  Contrast that with a boat ride I took on the fjords in Norway.  My fellow travelers and I spent maybe five minutes filming interesting sites on a two hour ride.  We were having too much fun to worry about pictures. I missed filming several interesting things because I was enjoying the moment, but I do not regret one photo I missed. >
  
  Yes it does. Who in the fuck is really going to go back and look at the 100 pictures you took of your toddler 🤣 >
  
  I agree. Also, I used to have that attitude when I was younger and now really regret not having more pictures of old memories. I love looking back and reminiscing about certain experiences. I now make a big effort to get good pics because I am more likely to regret not having them than “living in the moment.”
