I just found out that Apple is going to be announcing a new iPad that is smaller than the original but bigger than a cell phone. This brings up a conundrum for me. Do I utilize technology on this trip or not?
This wasn't a big question when I lived in N. Ireland. Yes, cell phones were in existence, but they weren't "Smart" and basically if I wanted information, I had to go to an internet library or ask *gasp* a person!
The pros of an ipad are immense. I could easily update my family and friends of my trip. Historical information and maps would be at the tip of my fingertips. I could download walking tours, calculate currency, and find transportation easier.
The cons of the ipad, while not as numerous, are still important to consider. Using technology may mean that I lose the immense sense of adventure. Basically, the question is: how can I find myself if I don't first get lost?
What are your opinions?
