Airlines.

Technology is making our life simpler. Everything in our lives seems to be easier. Think about it, technology is about comfort. You don't carry 200 CD's anymore, you carry an iPod. You don't have to go to the supermarket, you shop online.
The world seems to be turning into a more convenient and comfortable place. Everything is getting easier, except traveling.
My recent travel experiences have just confirmed my theory that while everything else in our lives tends to be easier, air travel tends to be more and more complicated.
It's not only the fact of having to arrive at the airport hours before your flight because of the lines, the security checks, in which is not only uncomfortable but invidious, the fact that you have to almost strip or that nothing can be carried on board anymore. But also the fact that airlines keep making travel more expensive and less convenient.
Most airlines don't even give you a meal anymore, they charge for it. And, are tickets getting any cheaper? No. You know how much an airlines saves just by cutting costs for food?
And now three airlines, as of May 5, have included the genius policy of charging for the second checked bag. So now if you want to take a second piece of luggage you will be charged 25 dollars for it. That is, of course, plus any heavy or size extra charges.
So while airlines keep cutting costs, giving us less and making our experience worse, we keep paying the same, or even more for air tickets.
I guess we'd have to call for a "no travel day", would it be possible? I don't really think so. They can't be fought, and that's the worst of it all. Conclusion, airlines are "the man", but we trust them with our lives.
