Sooooo as my boyfriend eats his 8bit burger I thought I’d quickly write up my media 1 initiative post. I was just at Green Day which was the present I got my boyfriend for his 19th birthday (he’s a big green day fan from back in the day) and it was absolutely amazing. I only knew a few of their really big songs such as Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday and American Idiot but I still had so much fun being a part of this experience. However most of the time I wasn’t able to fully appreciate what was happening right infant of me as I had to film clips from the concert for my Networked Media project and I admit guilty that I posted some short film clips on my snapchat story. However I was amazed to see that hardly anybody was on their phones or using video cameras while watching the concert. Normally you can guarantee everyone is on snapchat taking photos or filming. Yet No one was doing this, everyone was living in the moment. How is it that apart from rare instances like the Green Day concert that we are consumed with media and never pay attention to whats happening right in front of us? Can we no longer live in the moment?
