"As long as people were focused on documenting the experience, they couldn’t be fully in the experience."

Sometimes it can enhance the experience - so it becomes shared with a community. The problem is perhaps more when people document their personal events and interactions. I found this when video recording - you weren't part of the party, just an observer.

I'm distracted by cell cameras at shows. It's visually distracting, but also takes away from the shared musical experience by constantly reminding me of the degree to which people's desire for social capital motivates them to go to concerts. It's human nature, and there's certainly nothing wrong with it, but it's not something I want to think about when I'm trying to enjoy the music and truly enjoy something for the sake of how it sounds and makes me feel.
