    The rise and rise of the smartphone has changed just about everything these days – the way we communicate, the way we date, the way we share casual acquaintance’s lame Instagram posts on Whatsapp groups created specifically for that purpose.

    It has also made the life of a celeb all that much harder, everyone now an amateur paparazzi looking to land the perfect snap. That’s not to mention the selfies, oh the selfies, THIS clip pretty much summing up all that is wrong in the world.

    Enter this granny, an internet inspiration through nothing more than the simple act of watching something with her own two eyes rather than through a tiny screen. Here she is at the Boston Black Mass red carpet premiere last month.

    Yep, that’s over 11 000 retweets right there due to someone actually watching something without snapping a picture. Not everyone is buying into the hype though, this Twitter user believes there might be more to the photo than meets the eye…
