At a recent family wedding the registrar-lady told everyone to put their phones away, to enjoy the ceremony and to live for the moment. I was most pleased with this as I am a firm believer in there being more to life than it being a 'spectacle mediated by images'. However, it is very hard for some people, to them things don't actually happen unless photographed, instagram-filtered and blogged to Facebook. To live life without doing all that is some kind of 'separation anxiety' where participation is needed - tough.
