Tips to avoid wasting time on the plane
Nothing is more unproductive to travel many hours by plane. Those who for reasons
often flew business know that time is lost in transfer to the airport, checkin, prembarque, flight, baggage claim and arrival at destination, time-out that is not recovered.
always imagined that in addition to sleeping, listening to music, watch a movie or read a good book, we should be able to use the phone, online or connect our notebook. You can not be disconnected from the world so many hours!
I could never understand why the air safety standards, have established that the electronic equipment in flight, must be turned off with the excuse that may affect aircraft instrumentation.
I wonder: As vulnerable systems communications and safety of an aircraft that may be affected by a transmitter harmless WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM or MP3 player??
If this were really so, it would be reckless to travel on an airplane, whose instruments were affected by radio interference.
Otherwise we are faced with outdated "segurólogos" banning things "just in case." The news for them is that the electromagnetic waves that dreadfully could affect aircraft instrumentation, are present in the air, on land, as in the air, and with much greater power density than can generate transmitter WiFi for notebook, bluetooth cell phone, GSM or the broadcast itself.
The cell phone base stations, plants transmitting radio and television, communications systems of radio-taxis, emergency services, ATMs, communications own airport control tower, and an endless list equipment and systems using electromagnetic waves such as transport, are present around the aircraft at takeoff or landing, as we said earlier, also in flight.
postmodern life and evolution of technology, always carry what I call acceptable risks. Are those risks that are generated by the same use of technologies, and sometimes, cause some minor disruption to the population, or use other technology that competes with them.
I am an advocate of the theory that everything that can be avoided, and that is not essential, should be avoided, because this way, reduce the risks. The issue is that this theory should have a limit, and find the point where it is, no easy task.
The segurólogos in general, and the ultra fanatical defenders of the environment, in general respond to the prototype of the "apocalyptic", so well described by Umberto Eco, and are responsible for the huge amount of ridiculous prohibitions abound in our postmodern society.
So from this forum, I ask the gentlemen segurólogos purporting to us "take care" of all "evils" of the evil modern technology, please lay down their apocalyptic theories, and enable us humble travelers to stay connected, thus earth as in heaven. Amen.
