During the semester break, I travelled south island of New Zealand in 8 days. It would be a rush time to visit south island. I had to say the technology bring a big surprise to us. Firstly, we used Google map to decide our travelling plan, it can tell us exactly distance from each city, how long we can get the destination from one city to other city by driving. By the way I mentioned that if you drive your own car please do a pre-trip inspection. Then we start to book the motel from AA website (Automobile Association http://www.aa.co.nz/travel/Pages/default.aspx ). It is fantasying that AA travel recommend some holiday ideas including online booking hotel/motel, restaurants and activities. It also gives us an idea of nearby city/town, for instance, after visiting Christchurch, we go the Hanmer Springs as it points out in 101 must do’s for Kiwis.
Secondly, we used GPS (global position system) tracking to avoid some useless road trip. It was not surprising that the duration/distance of GPS is exactly the same to the road information sign. Furthermore, the GPS not only provide the travelling map, but also it can explore the place which indicates the petrol, cash director, restaurants, hotel /motel. It avoids people with blind searching from any of this information above especially you are a traveler or on the night time. Lastly, I want to talk about the small plane experience. This is the first time I travel only own ten seats flight from Queenstown to Milford Sound. and then by cruises for watching the penguin. It's hard to explain how great the view is. So great!
At the end, I’d like to say the technology has already changed the world in our life. The relationship between technology and human are close and close nowadays. If there is no such of these technologies, we will miss so many great things in our life. Also, my real experience tells that I can not live without internet even in 8 days. It makes me sick for the internet. Because, the Internet has already become a part of our everyday life.
