Some changes by the pool

For many years people were entertaining themselves by the pool by reading books, magazines or newspapers, chatting with friends, taking a nap, etc.
Since I've been in Singapore I've observed that the habits have changed a bit.
People still read but on their phone, tablet or laptop. Myself, I'm writing those lines nicely sitting by the pool with my laptop.
People still talk with friends but those may not be there with them. Thanks to Skype and Facetime, now I can sit by the pool and chat with my family and friends back in Europe or wherever they are.

One thing has not changed: people still take naps. It doesn't matter how much technology helps us staying connected, when someone is tired, he sleeps.
