Is Facebook/Myspace Ruining Social Outings? Options

[Tung]

So I was at a party this weekend, and the majority of the time it was taking just taking pictures. What happen to just enjoying your time at the party, drink dance, go wild. Instead, it's everyone let's get together for group pic. snap snap. then everyone goes to each other with a camera and snap snap. then at great america the next day, I overheard so many people, like "ey take my picture, i'ma post it on myspace" i was like wtf? are you guys here to go on the rides, or take pictures. i don't know, sometimes i feel like everytime i go out now, everyone is so concern about taking pictures and trying to look good, because they know it's going to be on fb/myspace. I think it's really annoying hanging with some of my friends who are major fb whores who have 10,000 tagged photos/albums. nowadays, i try to avoid them, and hang with people who doesn't carry a camera around and snapping pictures 24/7.

I can relate.
I have a couple friends who will always sit by themselves and take pictures whenever a bunch of us get together because they want to add them to MySpace. They'll worry about whether they look good, and if they don't, they go and put on more makeup and take more pictures.
It's pretty annoying, and I think to myself, "Whatever happened to just having a good time with friends?" They're so superficial that I can't ever have a deep conversation with them because they'd rather take pictures.
