I considered that phrase as, a few minutes ago, we bought two airlines tickets we will use during our upcoming winter. It was so easy to find the flights we wanted, visit the website of Sri Lankan Airlines, and instantaneously pay in rupees on a foreign-transaction-free credit card. We got not only confirmation but printed out our e-tickets for flights a full six and a half months away.
This would've seemed quite amazing in the days we used to connect to the Internet with a telephone modem. (Click: Can you remember that sound?)
