This is interesting.
I am pragmatic with most things in life. Clinging onto something is mostly a losing proposition. If something, for some reason, does not do work for me anymore, and there is no reason to assume that's going to change and nothing I can realistically do about it anyway, then it's probably a good idea to adjust and let it go.
In this particular and rapidly evolving part of our experience, I am sure we will discover new things about us. Maybe yeah, looking at actual photos of strange places will do less to us. Maybe that's fine because we never did care if it's real or not; maybe that part of the experience was mostly for the photographer and not the audience. Maybe for the rest of us the wonder that is somehow induced and the imagination being tickled can just as well be synthesised.
Would that be bad? Of course, too much of a thing will still be tiring and outright bad for you. Food is our most obvious nemesis in this regard. But even in a society where it's overabundant, we still value whatever good food means for us and I think it's highly unlikely that that is going to going to change.
