This weekend I drove round-trip from BOONTON USA to Yale.edu in Connecticut. It was 2 hours, 12 minutes. 104.0 miles via I-95N. Being a Sunday the traffic was not bad at all. But it was almost 5 hours of drive time, in total. That is 5 hours where I could have been more productive. 

Recently I started taking the train from BOONTON USA to NYC. There is a train station right in town (or right down the road in Mountain Lakes) and now in retrospect, I am kicking myself for not taking the train more often. The coolest thing about taking the train to NYC (or to Boston or to Philadelphia or to Washington DC) is the fact that you can use your laptop the entire time. 5G everywhere means you can work from anywhere.

There are 55M+ people living, learning, working, playing, teaching, training, coaching, mentoring in the New York Megalopolis. There are 579M+ people living in North America.

Train travel changed America long before cars. I think that 5G Global High Speed Internet will change the world, and make travel by train the (new?) way to go. Yeah - trains, 5G and then Uber for Business when you arrive.

Would it not be cool to have electric trains powered by wind and solar, as an alternative to flying?

Horses gave way to trains and cars. I see a world where 5G and wind and solar power will make train travel the way, the best way, the preferred way to travel. And the best way to work. And to learn. Let an electric Uber (self driving?) pick you up when you arrive at your destination. And take you back to the train station when you are ready to go back home. Explore everything that there is to experience, from Maine to Virginia.

Train is my new way to go. Try it and let me know what you think.
