Phones at concerts aren't so they can re-watch them themselves, but so they can share the pictures / videos with friends. > to see if people approve of what they're doing... So completely disagree that that has anything to do with it. Its inherently social, and imho in a way its enhancing the moment. > a sea of idiots holding up their phones, videoing an event, watching through their silly little phone. Enjoy the event! A sea of critics, wasting their time passing judgement on people. Enjoy the show!

> so they can share the pictures / videos with friends. And 99% of the time the quality is so awful that nobody cares. It's just to show people they were at that gig or that event. > imho in a way its enhancing the moment. I really don't feel like looking at something through a lens or holding your camera is enhancing the moment. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has a scene like that where the photograph don't take a picture just to appreciate the moment, because it's beautiful. > wasting their time passing judgement on people. well you're right on this one, to each their own I guess.
