Another reason to love Louis C.K.
At the start of genius comedian Louis C.K.’s new standup concert - available for $5 - he tells the crowd
Don’t text or twitter during the show. Just live your life. Don’t keep telling people what you’re doing … Also - it lights up your big, dumb face.
Another interesting note: during the opening credits as the camera glides down one of the aisles in the crowd we see person after person texting, emailing, whatever-ing, with their phones. C.K., who films and edits his TV series himself, is a camera buff, and arranged to have the show for sale off his website without using a large corporation (which involved lots of forethought about the technology needed for downloads etc), no doubt has a keen awareness of technology and its effects. It’s telling that he chose to show the people on their phones in the opening of the film; this wasn’t just some random bit of B-roll that was stuck in there.
