Travelling and the internet
Are you still into standard mobile phones and desk top computers, because you never felt the need to go to smart phones and mobile computing? That’s okay (really, it is); but you’ll travel better and easier if you make the jump. Travelling is now so tied up with the internet through email, the World Wide Web, video and voice calling, and messaging that you really should be there!
A long time ago, travelling meant that you would be completely out of touch with everyone – no one would know exactly where you were or what you were doing and they may not hear from you for weeks or months. Now, in the 21st Century, communicating is an integral part of travelling – and a large part of that communicating is done using the Internet.
Accessing the Internet while travelling
Accessing the Internet while travelling is so useful, convenient, and pervasive that it really is essential for the 21st Century traveller: researching, managing your travels, and communicating with your friends are just so easy to do with the internet. And, like telephone boxes in a world of mobile (cell) phones, all the previous ways of doing things are fast disappearing, leaving travellers with no other choices. Here’s the fundamentals on accessing the Internet while travelling.
