John I agree – spoke at last year’s TheNextWeb conference about SEO and online marketing to the startups and hackers and asked audience how many were concentrating on mobile marketing – 75% of audience said yes – told them they were limiting themselves to 25% of reach

But it showed too many people are moving to this all mobile approach – fueled no doubt by the popularity of mobile devices.

I think the era of the smartphone, as I said in the post, is going to be over within a decade. But we’ll never stop looking for ways to share our experiences.

I think you have it all wrong here. People couldn’t really dance because they were at a sold out concert where people were constantly pushing each into each other to get closer to the stage. People were drinking and just completely crammed in and there was no where to move. This makes dancing really hard.

Also, smartphones ruin concerts. Absolutely ruin them in my opinion. When I have paid good money to see a show the LAST thing I want to do is look up at the stage through someone else’s camera. I am there to EXPERIENCE something in my own real life, not take pictures of every single moment so I can somehow try to share this experience later.

Pictures are great, but I like them far better when they are taken by professionals who have a pass to take photos at a show. No one can fully get the same feeling from looking at a picture of the show you went without actually having been there themselves.

Save your memories and put away your smartphone before I smack it out of your hand at a show.
