Adele took a moment during her concert in Verona, Italy, to address a fan who was filming the performance. She gently reminded the audience member that she was present in the moment and encouraged her to experience the live show instead of viewing it through a screen. We’re living in a time where it seems we often use our devices as a barrier between us and the real world.
“I’m really here in the flesh,” Adele said. “You should enjoy it in real life instead of through your video camera. This isn’t a DVD… There are plenty of people outside who weren’t able to come in.” Ironically, we get to see her message because, yes, someone recorded it on their phone.
It raises an important question—how many of us have been annoyed at concerts when others around us are busy capturing the event on their devices? Or at school performances where parents line up with cameras blocking our view? Who’s going to watch those shaky videos later on? The truth is, we should be fully present for these experiences.
Many of us grew up without a plethora of videos capturing our childhoods, yet we turned out just fine. Sure, it would be nice to see some old footage, but not having it doesn’t diminish our memories. In fact, the trend has flipped completely; nowadays, we’re inundated with pictures and videos, making it impossible to sift through them all.
Reaching for our phones has become a reflex, but as Adele pointed out, the memories we create in the moment are far more valuable than any low-quality video. So let’s take a cue from her and cherish the experiences we have in real life.
