I saw a television advert the other day that specifically called out Millennials and how, yes, you can book a vacation from your phone and you're going to be okay, dad.

I think, "I'm not downloading your app" is of course a perfectly fine perspective. I rarely do. And blogging about it is playing one's role in the techno-cultural tug-of-war. But I'm consciously aware that I'm in the dying minority and the world is changing regardless of how much I choose to yell at the clouds.

Sure, I can book on the smartphone!

But its super uncomfortable! :-)

And: Typing - I learnt in school to type perfectly with 10 fingers, on a smartphone only using my thumb is just too slow

  • Right?!

    How can I cross reference things and check deals and copy paste to my spreadsheet on a phone!

    I feel like you can do these things but I’m very skeptical that people aren’t worse off by doing it on a phone (when they have the choice)

I wonder when dynamic pricing will switch from booking on phones being more expensive because you're most likely in a hurry to booking on desktop being more expensive because you're old and have more money to spend. Did that already happen?
