I’m on a road trip as I write this. Amazing that technology has come far enough that I can WiFi from the middle of sagebrush and cows, instantly. Our caravan of two cars is twenty miles apart—a virtual caravan—because we are talking on the phone, and texting, so that makes us practically just a few feet apart.
I can check my caravan partner’s 10-20 by GPS, Map Quest our route and beam it to her, and order a bag of squeaky cheese from the Cheese Factory and pick it up in Beaver on our way through. It’s a small, close world.
What’s next? Hopefully, virtual gas stations?
