There are two options when attending a live event: either watch events unfold through the camera function on your phone or put down your phone and just enjoy the show.
One (yes, just one) woman chose the latter option in this now-viral photo from the Boston Black Mass red carpet premiere in September.

In this photo from the Boston Globe, most of the crowd watches the red carpet through their smartphone camera lenses while an older onlooker takes in the event tech-free.
Oddly enough, the woman's lack of technology is exactly what's made the photo such a viral success.

Of course, not everyone's buying into it.
