But elsewhere on the page it was less clear what this meant, so I contacted them, and they told me that at the moment the huts do not have wireless internet, there is only "a PC in the reception for checking email".
Really lame. This is 2012, and Denmark regards itself as one of the most technologically forward nations in the world. And in some ways it is, even school children had their own mobile phones in the 1990s. Of course this was helped by it being a small and flat country, easy to cover wirelessly.
But maybe it is really just a small minority who *don't* have stuff covered for a couple of week just with a cell phone and occasional email check on a public peecee.

ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing?

ReplyDeleteI think, for most people the idea of a vacation is to get away from your computer and 24/7 connectedness.
Put another way, if we can not let go of being online even for a few weeks per year, it probably means that we are no longer in control of our addiction.
In fact, some people, after realizing that being online for hours every day is contributing negatively to the quality of their life, are now cancelling their home net connection. This is the latest trend in “getting your life back”.

ReplyDeleteProbably. Eolake, as a perveyor of internet smut, probably couldn't live without that 24/7 connection.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of people who talk about giving up TV. All the benefits he lists are all the things those people often list. The thing is, the kind of people who have a problem will just find something else.
Only if onlining is work to you, TTL. Only if onlining is work to you.
ReplyDeleteHere in Lebanon, the power rationing is steadily worsening. Hence why you see so little of me on this blog. Just can't remain online for very long in the first place!
I wish I could use my computer more. I've got a lot of files to sort out and back up, and just with the daily mail, it keeps increasing.
This country's practically "falling to peaces". And on the brink of war, but let us not get overly optimistic about getting some free action shows just yet. :-p
Too soon to sell my flatscreen TV, I reckon. We may very well still need having something to watch.
