BibleTech or BUST: Leaving on a Jet Plane or NOT?

Written by: Dony & Kathryn Donev

Monday morning. Sofia, Bulgaria. The snow flurries are gently falling and covering the airport. The clock is slowly ticking to what it seems to be an eternity and what otherwise would have been the perfect winter picture is now turning to a three hour delay announced just after the airplane had been fully and successfully pressurized.

Some 100 already nervous folks have nowhere else to go, but back to their blackberries, iPhones, GSMs and whatever they may have with them as a cell-component. And there begins the most tremendous symphony of human voices, languages, ringtones, text message notifications, TV and radio, playing videos and what seems to be some intermediate level of language communication between the human and the machine. I am referring to the sound of the clicking of hundreds of little electronic buttons that seems to dictate the rhythm of this new music style. If I had a way to monetize all of them in Google clicks, perhaps it should be enough to pay for a new Volvo to make the trip with.

I’d also like to calculate if the combined consumed energy powering all electronic devices onboard can defrost the airplane. Instead, I am calculating if the growing delay will affect our next connection in Paris? This journey begins three hour later than planned and I only hope we can make it up in the air. This time it seems that nature proves stronger than technology.
