The way people depend on their mobile devices amazes me more and more each day. For New Years my family went to Walt Disney World for six nights. We celebrated New Year’s Eve in the Magic Kingdom. Over my lifetime I have never seen a place as crowded before. In fact, there were so many people in front of Cinderella’s Castle, it was almost impossible to get through the crowd. What shocked me more than the size of the crowd was the number of people text messaging on New Year’s Eve vs. the traditional phone call. Around midnight the spectacular fireworks show began. As that show ended the mobile devices came out everywhere and the text messages started. I myself was even guilty of text messaging “Happy New Year”. I guess why tell someone “Happy New Year” when you can just text it to them?

Each season brings change and the holiday season is no different! Work, home, life in general has been fluid lately, so for this season’s gifts to the kids, I packed them up and we headed out of town for a much needed mini-vacation.
I’ve done holiday travel before, but haven’t seen anything like this. We were at the airport over two hours early, but the lines were so long that we missed our flight out and ended up having to traverse all over the U.S. in order to reach our final destination. To keep ourselves occupied, in touch with the world outside of the airport, and notify loved ones of changes and updates to the flight schedules, the kids and I pulled out our phones and tackled applications ranging from Southwest Airlines Mobile, Facebook, news channels, to games and videos.
Finally we made it to our final destination, Busch Gardens! It had TONS of activities for all of us and since I could not bring my entire network of family and friend to Florida, I brought Florida to them, taking pics of all of the events and activities and posting them so that we had everyone involved!Which application did we use the most during the trip? Facebook, of course! With the Facebook application on my Smartphone I can stay connected to everyone on the go. All my friends and family can follow my every move, enjoying the pictures I post and receive my updates on my status. It’s so exciting to follow others as well and makes keeping in touch so easy… just got engaged, just moved, had a birthday, adopted a puppy… it’s all right there. Whatever or whoever it may be, I love to know what’s going on and keeping track of my loved ones.
Christopher, my 11 year old son stays connected via both Facebook and Yahoo Messenger. He utilizes his cell phone to log in and post updates on his account… updating his whereabouts and posting snippets of his adventures. As a Mom, I LOVE this because he can be tagged in pictures that were taken along the trip and instantly viewed by his friends, connecting them all together as we enjoy our excursion. His friends leave the craziest messages and I think that it builds a special level of connection between them all, bonding them closer as a group.
Happy Holidays and I look forward to sharing with you all again soon! Posted by Stephanie in SmartPhone, Stephanie, Travel, Uncategorized Tags: Facebook, Holidays, Stephanie
