A vibrant canal in Venice, Italy, bustling with boats and gondolas, showcases why we often cant have nice things. Historic buildings with colorful façades line the waterway as two tourists capture the scene on tablets under a clear blue sky.

Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

There is a well-known quote that goes something along the lines of: “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.

It seems that this anecdote applies nowhere better than in the context of the iPad and its ability to take photos.

As somebody who has done a fair amount of traveling, I find it profoundly amusing that so many people choose to carry around these large, rectangular tablets with them wherever they go.  I find it even more astounding that almost all of these people find it necessary to hold these large things in front of their faces and take photos.

It looks ridiculously stupid.

Don’t believe me?  Maybe these photos will change your mind.
