I wonder if the same would be true if you were to take a photo of Edinburgh's Royal Mile today? I would bet not but your point is taken. So much has changed since 2010. Some things have changed for the good, but some changes have not been so great. Just like any other period in Earth's history.
Not only does everyone have their noses buried in cell phones but I've seen tourists holding up Kindles and tablets and taking pictures with them - it's totally ridiculous!! Here's an example of people more interested in their cell phones than the classical artwork surrounding them - sheesh!!
