Just about a month ago I saw some comedian making fun of his neighbor on the plane when that got quite impatient when lost internet connection on the plane. Guy commented how things never available to us before become absolute necessesities and that we are no longer amazed at being up in the air and flying, but demand more and more. That was funny at the time.
Now, I noticed some Greyhound buses in US having different color scheme painted outside. It was explained that those actually have wireless connectivity on them. Great!
Not being addicted I can certainly live without being always connected. But sometimes, it is useful to catch up on things while in motion. Hey, I'm not driving, so nothing wrong with that.
Having experienced luxury of connectivity in motion, I already kinda expected that. I took my computer along almost just for that, there was no other immediate need. This time I got on the bus, got connected to the network and was happy to ride. Only to lose that connection once bus pulled out. The network was not on a bus, but at the terminal.
Sometimes our eagerness to multi-task and be overly productive is based on expectations.
Well, was not a problem for me in this case; I got a book to read and had a chance to finish it.
