The other day in the office I had a chat with someone about how long it used to take to get from Sooke BC to downtown Victoria BC due to road conditions and technology. Well I've spent 12 hours on a plane and have crossed the Pacific Ocean, still hasn't it me yet how amazing our lives are in modern times.
While on my last flight I was eating a seaweed salad and though "how strange is it to eat something from the sea while sitting 30,000 ft in the sky watching a movie".
Yet even as technology lets us get further away faster I also realize how easy it is to stay at home in my mind. At both airports I have been able to hook up to wifi, skype video chat, check e-mail and read the news from home.
I guess thats what Marshal McLuhan was right... we are a global village.
