Travelling, Observing and Resetting Thinking
On the occasion of my travels to Europe (for work and pleasure) I find myself thinking about perspectives and how much travelling can help reset thinking and aid in Innovative creation.
The mere fact of being around new historic surroundings and observing differing human behaviors can be so refreshing.
Case in point were two observation. The first was an older couple here in Budapest. They were in their mid 60's early 70's. I saw them in a park this past Sunday sitting side by side at the base of a statue staring into their individual mobile phone screens. They did this for the longest time so they were either playing games or reading some kind of email/text. The length of time that they were doing this was uncanny and a behavior that I have never seen in the USA.
Like I have asserted many times, mobile broadband is the future and here in Europe things are a bit more advanced than in the USA, including adoption at all ages.
The second observation was more pedestrian and not full of significance, but nevertheless interesting. I saw a brand new model black Rolls Royce of the very expensive kind with a chauffeur and two riders. The license plates were from Florida, USA.
Aside from the fact that obviously this observation involves lots of money, so many other questions beg for answers.
