Journaling when traveling is so valuable- you get a truer take on what was really going on. I'm not a natural journaler, basically pretty lazy, but I am so glad to have some thoughts written down from some of my travels.
Some maybe dont notice the distance, experiencing adventures only through a video, after the fact. (The classic faceless voice, from behind the camera, narrating what's being recorded on holiday... out the bus window, down the street, here's our room...)
I suspect people are becoming less image shy, more quickly able to put on their performance face and maybe even need to be recorded for it to feel like it really happened, maybe there is no difference as in the webcam scenario. You live the performance- never an un-mediated event.
