Going Unplugged
Right, that’s it. I’m burning all my social-networking passwords and logging off.
Ok, not really. (Plus, that “click if you forgot your password” button makes such drama impossible.) But this is how I felt after reading a great piece by Make Travel Fair’s Stephen Chapman entitled Unplug, Enjoy The Journey & The Experience Of Travelling. As the name suggests, it encourages people to turn off their computers, forget the pressure of finding the “best” places in town, and rediscover the simple joy of unplanned wandering, or, as the Australian Aborigines say, “going walkabout”.
