In my opinion, one of the most egregious examples of phone zombie-ism is the amount of people taking pictures on their phones / tablets when at some sort of famous monument or location. To quote (of all people) Maddox: > I kept staring at "my" picture, looking for some glimmer of justification for its existence, I thought that maybe I could show this to my friends as proof that I'd seen the portrait with my own eyes. But I'm not in this picture, so there's no proof I was ever there. Even if I was in the picture, it could have been photoshopped. And why would I need to prove it to anyone anyway? I used to do this when I was younger, but I've come to realize that: 1. A professional photo of a famous destination looks seriously better than an iPhone photo. 2. The only reason people take these photos is to get more likes on Facebook and Instagram. 3. Nobody actually cares. I've found myself enjoying a photoworthy location much more when my head is out of my phone and focused on the scene itself. This notion has served as inspiration for a recent project and venture I've been working on.
