Internet on the plane.

I definitely am a technology enthusiast, I love technology. I am also usually an early adopter, however still some marvels of technology don't cease to amaze me.

Let's take for example Internet on the plane. You are cruising high up in the sky and are able to browse the web through your device. On one hand it is a bit scary - even the most remote places on earth that used to be free of always-online, omni-connected world now are occupied by dark tentacles

of the Net. 

But if you really love it or are simply addicted it's great :).

First impressions.

Think about the moment when you enter a new building, see a new place or check into a hotel you've never visted before. This first impression when the place feels strange, ackward, new. Like a piece of clothing that is not that comfortable or simply unfamilliar.

I like the comparison between this first ackward moment and a bit later - the third, fourth day in some place when you've already got used to your surroundings and they are starting to feel familiar, known, yours. Some places than start feeling like at home, others feel out of place and it takes huge amount of time to change this. 

But even with places that feel like home you feel that little sadness when thinking about the first time you've experienced this place - the oddness, freshness, outworldly feeling it gave you. 

That's why it's so good to travel to new places you've never been before...
