Are autographs effectively dead?

With everyone having a camera phone these days, are the days of getting a single athlete/celebrity's autograph gone?
I could see having an entire team on a baseball/football/etc... But what would a signature from Brad Pitt prove?
Thoughts?

I have no idea what your premise is.

I hope so. I'm teaching my kids that it's stupid to ask for autographs.

Photos can be shopped. If I see a celebrity I pull out a sharpie and get an autograph on my chest. Right peck for an actor/musician, left peck for an athlete (unless they're eating, you never bother someone when they're eating).

I don't think so. My parents live next door to an NFL player, and plenty of people still ask for his autograph.

still ask for his autograph
It's almost like society has conditioned us to think that that's what we're supposed to do...?

Even as a kid I never understood the interrupting someone for an autograph idea. Back then I knew I would just put it somewhere then forget all about it, now I just consider it to be extremely rude.

Yes. It's not terribly clear, really.

Now I get it.

Probably. I haven't really had a lot of first hand experience with being a middleman for celebrity autographs, so I'm likely off base

It's stupid and rude really.

Not as long as there are children. As adults the concept seems a little odd, getting another adult to write his name on something for you to keep. But for a little kid who watches his favorite team on TV, a chance to get an autograph probably means the world to him.

I have never understood either. I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't give a shite if I see a celebrity. I certainly don't feel the need to prove it to others that I saw one.

Probably, these millennials don't know how to write in cursive.
