Summarise the key points in the writer\u2019s argument against the practice of capturing everything on camera. (4)<\/p>\n
New technology has made is simple to record on camera almost any trivial event.\u00a0 And it\u2019s the work of a mouse-click to distribute those images to all and sundry.\u00a0 Yet just because something is technically possible doesn\u2019t automatically make it desirable.\u00a0 I wonder if it is starting to impair the transient joy and spontaneity of daily life.\u00a0 This ubiquitous, almost obligatory obsession with capturing even the most private thing in life for posterity is starting to rob us of our ability to savour the moment.\u00a0 And if we don\u2019t fully savour the moment as it happens, we may miss its significance, pungency and richness.\u00a0\u00a0 That makes the process of recalling it later much harder.\u00a0 Paradoxically, our click-click obsession with photographing everything may be sapping, rather than enhancing, our brain\u2019s ability to revisit old events with pleasure or nostalgia.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou had to be there\u201d isn\u2019t just a clich\u00e9.\u00a0 It\u2019s also good advice.\u00a0 We should stop trying to freeze-frame treasurable moments for some tomorrow that may never come, or some absentee audience that probably isn\u2019t interested anyway, and just enjoy them as they come and go.\u00a0 God knows, they come and go quickly enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
