Dc's class had a little Christmas concert today, held in their classroom. Space was limited as the room was small, so parents were all stood against a wall while the kids were lined up on the opposite wall singing. I reckon 50% of the parents there watched the whole thing through their mobile phones, which is one thing, but there were 3 parents in particular who were jumping in front of the rest of the parents, crawling on hands and knees and generally obstructing everybody else's view so that they could stick their phone right in the kids faces to record.
I've been to a few concerts and gigs recently and it's been everywhere. People sticking phones in the air and obstructing other people's view to record things. Why do people feel the need to do it? Do they actually watch the footage over and over on their phones? Would they not be better off just enjoying it first hand while they are there??
