Internet has changed the concept of sailing around the world. Actually, we have seen the change in all kinds of traveling. We go further, to more remote and exotic places, but at the same time we keep our friends and family updated. We keep in touch with the place we left. This has again changed the concept of leaving; there's really no point in crying.
But there's a serious downside to this. Emails, Facebook, Twitter, etc; it all means that the modern traveler brings along friends and family, in what is called 'hyperreality'. The traveler never really leaves his own bubble. And then the significance of a new place is never seen, never felt and never understood.
