that's the most insanely stupid thing I've seen posted on hn in a long while. You've totally missed the whole point of experience - part of it in this day and age is to be able to relive it and share it with a wider audience than those physically around you through the marvel of technology.
By all means don't take photos, but please don't kid yourself that this is some retro throwback to days gone by. Why not skip showering in the morning too, that just distracts you from the things people did before household plumbing.
