Holidays through the lens
The worst offender for living your holiday through a lens was cine film. However on 8mm film that was a maximum shot of 2,5minutes. Modern video, or digital movies, have extended that period considerably.
However the video longer running times do mean that the results have less artificial behaviour from the subjects. I gave a bystander my 8mm cine camera to film our first parachute jump. When it was developed there was about five seconds as we left the plane - and about the same as we approached the ground. It hadn't occurred to me to tell them to do a near continuous shoot as the drop would only have been about 2 minutes. Nowadays a Go-Pro strapped to your helmet would capture your eyes' view of the plane appearing to soar away from you before the 'chute opened. There would also be the strange effect of grass clumps expanding sideways rather than rushing to meet you.
