"If you travel a lot, and watch what folks are doing on airplanes, you'll find them playing Solitaire or Bejeweled on their iPhones," said Ian Bogost, professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication. "They're games that don't have anything to do with the travel experience, because really, when you're traveling, you just want it all to go away; you don't want to think about the fact that you're on a plane." Source: CNN International, February 13, 2013
