The Digital Revolution

Aug 09, 2004 16:50

At some point, some genius decided that the entirety of San Francisco International Airport should be outfitted with wireless internet. This is clearly a great idea. You can almost get over the fact that you're stuck in an airport bar for four hours due to beauracratic incompetance if you have the ability to contact the outside world and complain about it properly. Plus, it's kind of hip. You can plop down in the middle of baggage claim and check your email. Not really practical, but think how cool you feel. People in Chicago aren't checking their email while the baggage handlers finish opening their luggage and stealing the duty free alcohol. People in Miami aren't surfing the internet while the customs officials check their luggage for Cuban midgets. Nope. Just here. Because we're San Francisco and we're just swank like that. San Francisco is clearly full of modern, fast-paced, connected people who live on the cutting edge of the digital revolution. We embrace technology. Hell, we invented most of the technology. No where is there a city that better understands the newest and best in the electronic revolution. Gosh, I'm proud to live here.

I'd love to go on, but I have to go find an electrical outlet. I hear there's one in the next terminal.
