Spend money (waste fuel, and worse: waste precious time) to go to touristic places so they can take the exact same picture/video everyone else has taken, and share it on the exact same social networks everyone else has done. Why not just buy a postcard or repost a photo already shared. Why not, you know, look around and suddenly realize there are many other things worth looking at... things that may not even be that remote from where they live.

For me, that's one of the most extreme demonstration of generalized craziness, if not worse. Or maybe it's just me who's crazy (or worse)?

Edit: added a missing word.

The point of a photo is to remember something you did. Not generally the photo itself.

Resharing someone else's photo is not even similar to going somewhere and capturing the moment.

When you're old those photos might be all you have left.
