Well, with video skype you can kind of avoid the trip alltogether for most things.... I guess the other thing to consider is: what can you do on the journey. With in-air wifi the airline trip has dropped to only a few hours of non-work time. So in some ways the 8+ hours to go to the other coast only has a "cost" of two or three. -XC
Seems as if we'll take a similar path to space travel, given much of the talk of the past few weeks. Simulation and simulacra as opposed to The Real Thing. I think we're only at the beginning of the age of "authentic experience", and wonder what that'll mean for the value of same place/same time interaction.
