As I write this, I'm roughly above [[Baku]] about to cross the [[Caspian Sea]]. I don't have an internet connection so I'm jotting down these local notes which will be synced to the Agora later.
I guess much has already been said about the relatively rareness of being offline nowadays; I am old enough to remember a time before being online at all was possible; then a time in which being online was rare; then the transition to always-on home and then mobile internet. I welcomed each increment of connectivity, and I still love how far we've gotten in this respect; but I can also appreciate the 'forced' focus that being fully offline for a bit can bring, if nothing else because that same mode is always available -- behind the impulse to catch up with messages, or check feeds, or read about Baku and the Caspian Sea on Wikipedia -- which is surely what I would be doing right now instead of writing these words was I not truly offline.

I welcomed each increment of extra connectivity, and I still love how far we've gotten in this respect; but I can also appreciate the focus that being fully offline for a bit can bring. If nothing else it throws into contrast the fact that the same focus should always available -- behind the impulse to catch up with messages, or check feeds, or read about Baku and the Caspian Sea on Wikipedia (which is surely what I would be doing right now instead of writing these words were I not truly offline.)
