Living in the moment

Live for the moment not to remember it, this is what i live by. Sure it is all good to take the picture of the amazing things around you but whats the point if your not taking part in the wounder of the world. In Elliott's story "savor the trip don't tweet it" he posses a very reasonable concern for technologies negative effect on the travelers experience. Elliott fear that the traveler has lost the point and meaning behind his travels. Elliott in his story tell how people focus to much on posting and publishing their travels that they forget to actually travel. The trip because about face book and the tweet rather than experiencing something new.
I personally travel for the fun of it, because for me the more i travel the more i learn about about myself. But if someone got to much entangled with their 'tweet" their personality would not be challenge they wouldn't learn but rather their face book would. When traveling i find it best not to evening think about the camera the cell phone and the status update. I simply go about my travels and take in with my own mind and not technologies and experience the trip my way.
Technology is a conveinlent sorce which is avable to help remember a trip, but thats all it should be. Technology should not determine the trip and its meaning rather should just be a failsafe. As Elliott said in his aricle "used in moderation, technology can make your trip go more smoothly," but it should not be the dominate influence on any trip. Though it is fun to go and play video games when im bred at home, while away in the great barrier reef i think ill take swimming and experiencing the great open waters over super mario bros any day.
Thus when we travel, no matter the location boundariers on technology should be made. A limit should be placed on some items and others should be banned completly. Things like cell phones and cameras are souces which are useful but should be restricted some what. While things like gamboys labtops, tec should be banned completly while anyone one travels. The only exspection is the safty of the hotel room, but even then should not be the main focus of the mind.
