I just see people at the office wasting countless hours chatting on skype, facebook and a rising amount of other apps so why not in flight?

Thanks Roberto, Amy, Steve…

@Roberto Is that because we want to or have to? I have read duty free magazines to kill time. Whenever I am lucky enough to next to someone interesting inflight, it makes for the most tolerable flight.

@Amy It could have a negative side, sure, but don’t you think on a 9 hour flight having an hour or 2 where you can have some noise is ok. Besides, no one will be talking (as Dr. Steve said), it will be more of a digital conversation

I think we just haven’t had the opportunity to socialize on a plane before. Its like trying to socialize in a movie theater. You talk to loud, everyone glares at you. You want to go to the bathroom, you disturb everyone in your row. So I don’t think “physical” conversation is possible. But digitally I am sure it will be interesting to see how we start “talking” more around and inflight…

Great, let’s turn the airplane cabin into yet another chatterbox. Aren’t people beginning to tire of their own voices?

For me travel has always been about disconnecting. Where else can you get a break from email and blackberry? When else do I have time to read a new novel, or get through a whole magazine?

That’s why this whole inflight WiFi thing scares me. When the airplane becomes just another workspace, what space will be left to call my own?
