All of this can be done via the internet.

  That's not the same.

    Why?
    • maxxxxx 8y ago
      Because you can't replace first hand experience with brwowsing the internet. There is much more to a place than you can see on a screen.

  You remind me of an old lady I met while living in Southern California. This lady was extremely proud of the fact that she had never set foot outside of California her entire life (by choice, as she was quite wealthy). I asked her about it and she said “Honey, why bother? It’s paradise here. If I ever wonder about life elsewhere, I can read about it or watch a documentary!” I mean, to each his own, but to me it’s the difference between reading documentation about code vs. writing code. The former may give you some good information, and may even be essential, but it’s not the same as experiencing the real thing.

    Think bigger. Her and you have never set foot outside Earth. What makes California so different from x or y point on Earth? Really think about it deeply.

    Please don't compare reading and writing code or a book for that matter to getting on a plane and staying in a hotel or a apartment.

      Your comment lacks substance. Care to explain why you have an issue with my analogy?
