That's all well and good, and I don't think many people are disputing the value of having more and better memories of loved ones.
The trouble is in resolving that against the kind of culture that has fostered things like the "creepshots" subreddit.
Smartphones (and GoPros) have already shown the value of being able to film and share more of our lives, but they've also shown the downsides of having our graceless moments broadcast to the world, or the many events that are now impossible to enjoy in a sea of smartphones held aloft, or, if you're an attractive woman, far more of you put online for other people to gawk at.
Until those abuses are resolved somehow, people are going to resist having a little camera attached to everyone's face.
