My first trip to Paris and how AI would have saved me from cafe confusion
I landed in Paris ten years back with a phrasebook and zero sense of direction. Ordering coffee was a puzzle because the menu had terms I didn't know. Now, AI apps can scan and translate menus right on your phone. On a recent visit, an app helped me learn what a 'cafe noisette' was without asking. It's crazy how tech handles small stuff like that. I miss the funny talks with waiters trying to explain things, but it's way quicker now. AI really shifted how we get by in new spots. It makes me think about how travel feels different with these smart helpers.

Ten years back feels recent to me, that's wild. Tech changed everything in just a decade? Makes my head spin a bit.

Yeah "makes my head spin" is right... I found a ten year old phone in a drawer and it looked like a kids toy. We went from that to pocket computers in what feels like a weekend. Getting old is weird.

The "kids toy" look is the real kicker. It makes you wonder what we're holding right now that will seem just as silly in another ten years.
