instance for the better I think...gone are the days where you pay a fortune and then find a dump.Although always looks prettier on the net that could still happen to a degree.
I am studying travel and for me it is essential.
I also enjoy it though....who wants crosswords to stimulate the brain when you can surf the net lol.
I also think life is so busy today that having a certain amount "done" gives us more time to play.
I have also been in a situation where on talking to people at the airport to come home...I have discovered places they had been to that I didn't know about...hate missing out so groundwork is a great thing for me.
