Airplane Mode is a State of Mind
On a recent business trip I ended up on a flight without wi-fi. That’s right: NO INTERNETS. It was during business hours and I’d planned on working online while in transit, like I do on so many flights. No luck. With no wi-fi, what was I to do? For two hours I worked. And an […]
