A good friend of ours, I will call him Eric, OK that's actually his name, but whatever. Eric once said that Lou doesn't use technology to ignore people or as a distraction, he uses it to enhance your life experience. I could not have put it better myself. If there is a quicker, easier, cheaper, better experience to be had by using technology, Lou is going to find it and take advantage of it. Need a cab as your leaving a meeting? Lou probably has already queue'd an Uber black car outside for you. Going to a busy restaurant for lunch or dinner? I bet he's made a reservation ahead of time using Open Table, but wait, what if Uber isn't available? What if the restaurant isn't on Open Table? Chances are he's found another car service, Lyft or Ground Link, or something else, or he knows the restaurant is on ureserve. Checking into your hotel? If there's a mobile app, he's checked in and just has to pick his key up on the way to the elevators. Need the perfect song to set atmosphere? He's queuing it up on Spotify. Want to know how much real estate is going for in the city your visiting? He's pulling up the local market on Zillow. Love that song on the television playing in the background of your favorite show? He's finding it on Sound Hound. Need to get online? His phone is a hotspot. Decide at the last minute you want to rent a car in the city you are visiting? He'll get you a ZipCar, or use Get Around. Want delivery from that restaurant that doesn't deliver? He'll get them to through Foodler, or Eat24. Coming home from vacation and you want the house to be the perfect temp? He's turning the heat up or down with Nest. I have never met anyone, who uses technology, or who is more in touch with new technology and apps then Lou. I know, I know, he's my husband, but you can ask anyone. I started calling him Loogle years ago. Way before "Hot Tub Time Machine" stole my idea! Oh and is it a coincidence that Rob Corddry used to work for me in NYC? OK it is a huge coincidence, but STILL. OK I digress.....
My point? Lou can get more done sitting by the pool with a drink (probably water he ordered through a mobile app) in one hand and a smart phone in the other, than most people know is humanly possible with a phone.
