Savor the Trip, Don't Tweet It
Elliot is concerned that people are using their technology too much on vacations and thus removing themselves from the things they are seeing on the trip. "Vacation meant leaving the world you knew for a world you didn't". He wants us to limit our use of cameras and phones so we can live more in the moment than knowing every little thing ever (FB). I want to go Australia because i want to expierience the wildness of the country. I also want to report back to my friends and family at home about how those nations really are. /i thought about either facebooking or texting my expieriences back home the moment they happen. I know I won't facebook or text during the trip because i want to give my friends the suspense of not knowing what I'm doing. Yes, I think that we should ban our phones and facebook from the trip. I think we shouldn't bring our phones because one, it's one less to worry about and we can't even use them over there. I also think we should facebook because it will distract us from the trip of a lifetime.
