Totally. The first time I was in India was 2006 and the second was in 2016. Talk about a different experience. I mean, India is still India but having that map and actual internet access, no matter how intermittent made a lot of difference. It also drastically cut down on interactions because there was no need to ask directions. Being lost will force you out of your comfort zone quicksmart and that just stopped happening in a post iPhone + maps world.
- erikb 8y agoYeah, right? I had this experience in China. You move from being really far outside of what's happening and where things are and what people talk to almost being able to go anywhere yourself, talk to almost anybody and find out what's going on. Smartphones have changed travelling a lot. Although you must sure to get a good VPN before going to China.
