More and more people nowadays visit well-known places to take photographs of themselves, without looking at tl1e place. Why do you think this is happening? Is it a positive or a negative trend?

Nowadays, when visiting a famous

place

, people tend to take photos of themselves

instead

of exploring the views and the

place

itself. In my opinion,

this

situation is because of social media and showing off. I am

also

convinced that, in most cases,

this

is a negative trend. It is my view that these days people do not care about their surroundings especially when they visit a beautiful

place

. They simply want to take a great picture of themselves rather than enjoying the moment and the atmosphere around them. From a social standpoint,

this

happening is understandable since social media is becoming a huge part of our lives. Everyone wants to show off their appearance and their look.

For example

, when we go on a vacation, we would like to take a selfie in order to post it on our Instagram.

Also

, taking photos is essential as it makes us cherish the fond memories we have in the future. I

believe that

this

trend will cause us to stop focusing on the great views and sightseeing when we visit a

place

. We spend a lot of time
