What they're saying is that this is probably not a societal trend, as you put it. In my anecdotal experience people are doing less and less pre-programmed tours and a lot more of exploration and going off-trail because of all the information we have at our disposal.
- colomon 10y agoIt's like the people complaining about all the fancy Lego sets today are removing creativity from Lego, no? One kid might build the set and leave it together forever. But my kid builds the set, leaves it together a few weeks, then uses all the cool new pieces to fuel his crazy creativity. Likewise, this summer I made a spontaneous trip to Milwaukee for their Irish festival on less than two hours' notice that a band I love was going to be there. Maybe it's just me, but I would never have made a six hour trip to a city I've never been to with no advance planning without the assurance that my smartphone was there to help me navigate my way around.
