Taking pictures and Videos while hanging out with your friends destroys the magic of the moment.
I recently met with a few old friends and we went on a hike together. It was very nice to see them all again since theres rarely an opportunity where we can all see each other together. I understand that you want a few pictures and videos to remember the day. But at some point it's just annoying and feels weird to have a phone in your face all the time. I feel like I'm being watched and can't relax being around them since everything is recorded and shared. Because of this I'm unable to enjoy their company even though I like them a lot. And when you try to tell them they react weirdly. At this point it's starting to feel like a disease thats spreading to everyone. That everyone has to capture every moment to "remember" every singe moment instead of actually being in the moment, enjoying life. It's creating distance between people and reality.
