i arrived in NYC this morning, after a journey that went like this: ride to palo alto caltrain from stanford university – figure out where i REALLY have to go – call cab – drive to stanford shopping center – take bus into milbrae – hop onto bart – change at west oakland – take air bart to oakland airport – hop onto jetblue plane – get off at jfk – take bus to subway – get off at 34th street – orient on the street grid – find cafe – search for wifi
most of this would not have been possible without either notebook or wifi. technology has allowed me to be much more last minute than i ever was. no long planning, figure out your journey on the road, check the net if you are lost etc. i will try to coin a phrase for this experience, “wifi enables real time travel planning, and reduces anxiety.” will do for now.
i have to run, client meeting.
