Survey Finds Airport Wi-Fi More Important Than Food
Ninjakicks writes "For the business traveler (and the traveler in general, really),
Wi-Fi is important — crucial, even. But more important than sustenance?
That's exactly what was found in
a recent survey by American Airlines and HP, where some 47% of business
travelers responded that Wi-Fi was the most important airport amenity,
outscoring basic travels needs such as food by nearly 30 percent."
Personally, I find it easier to pack food to bring with me than an ethernet cord long enough to get from my cable modem to the airport.
But that's just me.
The history of every major galactic civilisation has passed through three distinct and recognisable phases: those of survival, inquiry, and sophistication. Otherwise known as the 'How', 'Why', and 'Where' phases.
For instance, the first phase is characterised by the question: "How can we eat?" The second by the question: "Why do we eat?" And the third by the question: "Where should we have lunch?"
You can make do without restrooms but hiding behind large objects doesn't get you wifi access.
Hey, it's important to me!

You might be smuggling in poisonous sandwiches. Everybody remain seated, I'm hijacking this plane. I warn you, if you resist I'll throw a poisonous sandwich at you.
I think this has more to do with a pyramid of needs. Once you have enough sleep, you think about water. Once you have enough water, you think about nutrition. Once you have enough nutrition, you think about the food tasting good, and so on.
Is this Maslow? Are you trying to push your pyramid of needs again?

Do this before you leave for the airport.
I suspect it was internet based...

Not at all. You see, if you have food, you can survive, and have to endure long waits without the Internet to keep you occupied/"productive". A purgatory, essentially.
If you have wifi, you can continue watching videos of other people's cats until you die peacefully of starvation.
Of course, the ideal situation is having both, where you can watch cat videos until you die from whatever food you bought at the airport cafeteria.
