Enjoying life via the web

My random question of the day is whether or not the web allows us (i.e. me) to enjoy life more or less? I’ve noticed that I now feel as if I always have to carry a camera with me (and sometimes a video camera as well) so that I can capture all the fun, exciting, tragic, and beautiful moments in my life and share them on the web. I also feel the need to communicate through text what I’m thinking and doing through blogs, twitter, and posting comments on Amazon, Yelp, other blogs, etc.

Is this activity enhancing or detracting from my non-web life? I don’t know. But I wonder.
