I have to add this as I just returned from vacation myself. I have caught myself stuck in what I like to call "click and walk" syndrome when traveling so on this trip I resolved to significantly reduce the number of photos I took.
Being aware of it made me watch the people around me more. A large number of people don't look at sights anymore. They see it through their phone because they hold the device up constantly as an intermediary to the real world. They walk towards something, raise the phone, look at it through the camera/screen, click a photo, immediately turn away. My hobby on this trip was observing the people who really weren't looking at anything at all and it surprised me how many there are.
Made me think back to the trips I have taken where I returned with hundreds of photos of things I had barely taken the time to actually look at. If you're doing that, just travel via the web, it's cheaper.
