This is really interesting I think...if it were my research interest, this picture would make a really compelling argument for the 'disconnect' between people and their utter preference for virtual communication over face-to-face....and for the fact that this is not just a 'youth' phenomenon! What does that say about us? And that pic is taken of a small homogenous group of people with a strong common interest! Last year I went to an Adam party in Dallas (birthday) and a number of the people, including one I recognize in this picture, spent the whole evening tweeting. It sort of defeated the purpose of getting to know each other ... Then again, that begs the question of what WAS the purpose? To some it was to tweet for their "public." That is their community, not the people they might have a chance to get to know in the room. It's interesting, isn't it? The thing about being part of a community that mostly relies on social networking is that you get used to being tuned-in to what is going on most waking hours. It can be hard for some people to not have that connection, and therefore you have the party phenomenon you experienced. That gal seemingly was more interested in staying connected online than making new connections in real life. It can definitely be addicting-- knowing what's happening as it's happening. The other thing though, is that this is a very sharing community, and so when people get to go to M&Gs, promos, concerts, appearances, etc, they try to share info for the people who can't be there. How often have those of us at home whined about the "Twitter silence" in the middle of a concert, and wished that people would tweet just a few words to say how it's going. |

What does that say about us? And that pic is taken of a small homogenous group of people with a strong common interest! I don't have a cell phone--did when they first came out, years ago, but don't really have a big need for one now...not that I would say no to a gift  . My question is, for those who spend a lot of their 'concert' time filming and tweeting, when you 'remember' or 'relive' the concert...or when you read your tweets back, do you remember and relive the concert, or the tweeting [complete with all the concert ambience]? I always advised students to sit in their 'usual' seats when writing an exam as we tend to recall things in a holistic experiential way...that is...when trying to recall what a professor said or a film showed, one of the most effective paths to successful recall was to picture...visualize..the learning experience....to re-see the learning point. How does that extrapolate to the experience of texting and tweeting during a concert or waiting for the concert? Also, how does the mediation of the camera impact the experience of the concert? I have often wondered how Suz526's experience of a concert differed from mine, for example....just curious...not attaching value, just interested.  |

Okay, I know I've said this a lot, but OMG look at Adam and his gorgeousness! HOW does he keep looking better and better????? It's not normal, people. We need a team of scientists to study this phenomenon!
That hair alone is a topic for a doctoral dissertation. It looks like tiny bare-footed elves have been running through it and left it perfectly tousled...

YUM! hope someone crops this one. (sorry michele, whoever you are LOL) A bit cruel, don't you think? That means that if I'm not a superbeauty I don't have a right to take a pic with Adam? ??? Of course not! It means we only want to look at Adam! ;D |
