It's called The day
that Twitter went down.
That day I got things done.
I went for a long run.
Played ping-pong,
Wrote a song.
It got to number one.
That day I did a lot.
I tied a Windsor knot.
Helped the poor,
Stopped a war,
Read all of Walter Scott.
O what a day to seize.
I learnt some Cantonese.
Led a coup,
Climbed K2,
Cured a tropical disease.
That day I met deadlines,
Got crowned King of Liechtenstein,
Stroked a toucan,
Found Lord Lucan,

Imagine watching a film or TV show featuring
breathtaking scenery. You don't know where
the place is but you'd love to visit it one day.
Now imagine being able to stop the action, ask
your smart TV for the location, then have it
work out how to get there, including flight and
accommodation details.
It may sound far-fetched, but this kind of
"joined-up" travel tech is closer than you think.
It's all part of an effort by airlines and other
transport providers to broaden their appeal
and compete with the new app-based travel
companies, such as Airbnb and Booking.com.
They want to give us the tools to turn our
wanderlust into reality.
