Savor the Trip

While technology can help you capture moments on your trip, it also can ruin your experience. Christopher Elliott's "Savor the Trip, Don't Tweet It", is all about how technology is often overused on trips. His main concern is that having too much technology on a trip will take away from the true value of the trip. Elliot believes that "vacationing mean[s] leaving the world you knew for a world you didn't". Technology is definitely a world we know so during vacation we should go against using it. It can also take away from the reality of the trip. I feel like my purpose for going on this trip is because I will probably never get this chance again and this is not a place I nomrally would be able to go to. I think that I will probably only bring my phone(although I'm not sure about service there still) and my camera for pictures. After reading this article I agree that using technology too much will just end up taking away from the trip so I am going to try and limit the pictures I take. While technology can be a problem, I do not  believe it will be that big of a problem in Australia. I think just limiting use on your electronics will be enough for boundaries.
