Cameras are destroying memory. Stupid tourists just want to take pictures. Everything is canned. And it's a tourist trap. Thanks to capitalism it all looks and feels the same. Thanks Obama. /scene
Want an authentic experience, go where you are not expected to go as a tourist. Everything else is canned and available on Youtube and Flickr and Instagram and has been for over a decade. Just today I rode of gondola in Italy via Youtube and wondered what the fuss was about and why I would ever do that.
- mikegioia 11y agoI think you're right, but I also think a lot of people want something different. Most people see something they admire, want to recreate it for themselves, and then share it with their friends and family to show/record that they've done that. It might be the exact same thing that many other people have done, but a lot of people just want to do the experience that they build up in their head.
