Conference Travel
I was at a conference last week, one that I go to for work each year, and what a difference a year makes.
Last year, there were long lines at the computer center that was set up where we could check our email and print out seminar handouts. This year - no waiting at the computer center.
Two reasons come to mind. First, the hotel has internet in each room and a wireless signal in the lobby!
I was kicking myself for not bringing a laptop from work, because in-room internet was less than $6 per day. Then I really kicked myself on the last day when I found a wireless keyboard in the TV stand! I could have been using internet over the TV in the room even though I had not brought a laptop - wow! I had no idea they were doing that.
Second reason is that so many people have phone/PDA things with internet in their pocket (and yes, I still want an iPhone and I still need to save up for it).
