Summary | William Sutcliffe is the author of "Are You Experienced?"; he complains about the smartphone generation and how new technologies have changed travel and backpacking. According to Sutcliffe, it almost looks like people's experiences and adventures today haven't really happened until they have been shared, liked, and commented on. Travels are important for young people; once you're cut off from everything familiar, you can be challenged and see the world from a new perspective.

Summary | “Ghosting” or defriending someone by text or social media is a new phenomenon. It seems that young people prefer using their smartphones and laptops to end relationships instead of doing it face-to-face. The term "ghosting" came from Katy Perry's song "Ghost" where she talks about ex-husband Russell Brand who had not spoken to her after demanding a divorce via text. Thanks to social media and the fact that you can hide behind your phone it is now easier to defriend people by ghosting.
