Limitless use of technology and its use

Summary:
The article shows the limitless opportunities that the internet and new technology can offer in order to either improve our daily lives, and even capture memorable moments through a screen shot. However, the article shows ways in which people misuse the technology, or contradict the purpose of it. The example the article given was if someone recorded (from their perspective), a concert, how many time, if any, will they re-watch it? They would generally watch the official live broadcast version as it has better sound and eve can show you in the crowd, making it more of a memorable moment.
Own view:
I don't agree with the article to a large extent, however most of the arguments stated are true, but aren't worth anything big to talk about. For example, the case study of recording a show, is not anything 'big' in terms of misusing technology. It is simply down to the user who wants to do whatever they want to do with that piece of tech. It isn't worth an entire article as some of the stuff mentioned are just down to personal preference and how the user feels it sees fit, rather than generically.
