Best Technology For Long-Distance Travel?
An anonymous reader writes "Over the past year I have traveled across the globe for work but I can't seem to find the right balance of technology to take with me. After reading a CNET article about tech for traveling, I'm still slightly undecided about what hardware suits me best. On the work side of things I need a laptop, nothing fancy but it can't be too heavy or slow. I also need a smart phone that can receive emails across the world and if possible a satellite navigation device, as I need to get to less-traveled locations on a regular basis. From a personal perspective I need my music but I don't care about video, so I'm looking for something with high-quality audio and great battery life. A compact camera wouldn't go amiss but dSLRs are too heavy for my needs and carrying strength, so something I can tuck in a pocket would be perfect. Any suggestions greatly appreciated."
'Nuff said. Just go somewhere high and aim well, then jump off the tower (or whatever, it really doesn't matter - cliffs work fine) and you're good.
On a clear day, you can get to Asia like this. Then it's just a matter of endurance to get anywhere else.
Just remember to bring your own cake.
I have developed a truly marvelous proof of this comment, which this signature is too narrow to contain.
Best technology for long distance travel? why cant you build huge star trek transporters and beam around the galaxy? why do you even need the spaceships?!?!??! huh?!??!? im going to get some crap about localized interference, magnetism, and stuff, but really, if you can beam something one inch, one mile or one lightyear really shouldn't be any theoretically different. oh and im drunk =D
A roll of toilet paper is a really good idea.
What?
To preface, I'm just curious and mean no disrespect at all.
Why bother doing '3.14ssed' here? There are tons of other words that convey the same feeling without being a cuss, and of course pissed is fine to say. It seems... useless.
