Is that blogging?

But a half hour after the band came onstage, I would have happily barred every camera from the place. And mobile phones too. An endless array of shiny silver doodads held up, videoing, photographing, relaying. There’s something distracted about the way we’re enjoying ourselves now. It’s not just that new technologies are affecting our attention span, it’s like people are trying section away a portion of their enjoyment. Saving it for another day. Unable to simply experience the moment, as cliched as that sounds. Just fucking stand there and listen, or dance, or whatever. Just let the thing that’s supposed to happen happen.
