Picture this …
You arrive at the movies and the line for tickets is huge (and barely moving). You have limited time before the start of the movie, and you want to get dinner in as well.
Technology to the rescue …
We skipped the line and went straight to dinner. While we waited for the food to arrive, we whipped out our laptop (a Mac of course), plugged in the wireless broadband internet card, and jumped on to the cinema website. Two minutes later we had purchased our tickets, in seats that we were able to select ourselves. A short walk to the multipurpose ATM at the ticket counter (bypassing the line) and plugging in my credit card and I had the tickets in my hands.
We had our tickets before dinner arrived, and before the line had moved more than about 3 people.
Talk about cool uses of technology!
