Consider the information put forward on the impacts of social media on travel decisions in Indian travelers in the Singh & Srivastava article. Consider also the argument put forward in this article that technology acceptance plays a key role in the reported impacts on leisure travel.  Relate this concept to your leisure decisions. Do you utilize social media in any fashion? What about others you know? Do you use other STEM-based technologies in planning and coordinating travel? How have these changed over the years? Do you believe technology acceptance and "ease of use" have any impact on the spread of STEM into leisure decisions? Provide specific evidence supporting your ideas: these do not need to be only 'travel' based.  Importantly, providing your opinion only is not sufficient for this paper. You do need to provide outside research/references supporting your discussion.

Finally, you should consider and discuss what happens when technology "fails", through either server outages, outdated information, or "filtering". How does this impact the use of STEM technologies during leisure?
