Social media, where you are too busy showing everyone online how great a time you are having to actually have a good time. With many people on social media for fear of missing out, it can easily become a psychic parasite of sorts. Photos can be good to help you get back into a memory, but some things can't be captured like that. Small example from this weekend -- when I started going to Mass at my church, my son was small enough I could hold him the entire time so he could see what was going on. Now, he's too big for me to hold him for more than a minute or so. A photo of me holding my son during Mass might help remind me of that experience, but it doesn't capture the bittersweet joy of me realizing how quickly he's growing or any of the other feelings I have from being at Mass. I guess the balance would be documenting things enough so you have some "breadcrumbs" to tie back into your own experiences, but not to stress about making sure you document EVERYTHING because if you are too worried about having a record of the experience for some reason, the experience isn't sinking in and changing you like it could or should.
