Why do people take photos of the sunset? Like, I got off the ferry today and many were doing that.

It's kind of funny how when witnessing something beautiful or amazing, people would rather spend their time taking pictures or videos to make it last than actually experience it directly, when chances are they'll never actually look at the pictures/videos again..

I think we're just too used to offloading everything -- our perceptions/experiences, our knowledge, our thinking, our memories, etc. -- to technology.
