The Future of Air Travel is Looking Like Science-Fiction

Image
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that airports can be the worst part of traveling. Now don’t get me wrong, I do love airports when everything goes accordingly. I love being right on time, grabbing Starbucks before my flight, browsing Brookstone for things I don’t need, getting on the plane and pulling out my neck pillow and waking up at my destination. But, that type of experience rarely actually happens to me. Normally I get to the airport extremely early to combat the long lines, have to deal with the rude security/gate agents, and walk around with my ticket, ID, boarding pass, and passport all firmly in my hand to keep in sight to make sure that I can get on the plane. But, the airline industry is rapidly introducing new technologies to change all of this. So, what’s the future looking like?

Fast Fashion

I have always loved shopping at stores that have the newest trends for the lowest prices. I have rewards memberships at Forever 21, Lulu’s, Zara, and H&M.

'Stranger Things' let its fans do the marketing for them

Image
Two big holidays are coming up: Halloween and the release of Stranger Things season 2 on Netflix. I have been waiting for season 2 to come out since the second after I finished binge watching the first season (which took me less than two days) at the beginning of last August. If you have not seen Stranger Things yet please start watching it after reading this blog because you will not regret it. The show takes place in a quiet, small town in the 1980s where the worst crime to ever happen there was a woman getting attacked by an owl, until a kid disappears without a trace. When his friends go searching for him they find a girl with a shaved head instead. After that a lot of strange things start happening around the town.   This Emmy-winning hit can attribute their success to their amazing cast of kids, suspenseful storyline, and a great marketing strategy. A month after Stranger Things was released on Netflix in July of 2016 it became the most watched original series
