A hundred years ago the cameras in the photos were really distracting.
Honestly, it's just one of those things humans will invariably do. If you could go back in time and gave smart phones to people throughout history, teach them how to use them and share photos, then collect the photos a decade later. You'd probably end up with the same selfie obsession. And lots and lots of pictures of people's junk, because porn was created about 30 seconds after the creation of the camera. No more of this pain-staking painting of my porn.
And lots of pictures of food, cats, dogs wearing costumes, and so on. The world has probably always looked like Facebook
