    Never done it myself and the only time I could imagine myself doing it would be for a Barnsley penalty. Even then I don't think it would cross my mind, being such a rare event, I'd be far too busy checking that I wasn't dreaming or having a stroke or something. ;)

    You sure it wasn't the real thing?

    We have basically evolved into soulless zombies, where life has become a series of filtered experiences.. It’s handy to tape a moment to re-live, but whale watching through an iPhone? (as I saw someone do on tv..) It really is the beginning of the end.. :eek:

    Went to see the Christmas Lights at Kew Gardens. The finale was absolutely spectacular - lights, lasers beams and projections sweeping over the palm house and across the water all set to music. Sort of thing that you got totally immersed in - well I did. Everyone else was filming it on their phones. Utterly and completely defeating the point of being there.

    Screens & lenses are also invasive to people who prefer to experience such an event naturally. Bob Dylan has banned them from his shows for these very reasons. :rolleyes:

    We have our own fans who do it. It's not just the big clubs. Don't see the point.

    Like when you try to film firework displays. I tried it once and video was rubbish. Better just to watch the sky
