Each time you board a plane and look for your seat, a small part of you is begging to be seated beside someone interesting.

每次登机寻找座位的时候，你心里都会有点期待，希望能坐在一个有趣的人旁边。

After spending hours of flying besides snoring, noisy and boring old people, this time I finally found a skinny girl in her mid twenties seated beside me. For once I was seated with someone who smelled nice, had skinny elbows, and seemed likely to stay up during the flight.

上次我坐飞机的时候，旁边坐的是个打呼噜、很吵而且很无趣的老人家，这次旁边终于坐了个20多岁、瘦瘦的女生。我一坐在散发着淡淡香味、身形瘦弱的美女旁边，全程似乎都能很清醒。

As soon as the safety belt sign went off, she took out her brand new "laminated" laptop with Windows 8 and started fiddling with it. After hopelessly struggling with it for over ten minutes, she turned to me.

安全带的指示灯刚熄灭，她就拿出了一台贴着保护膜的Windows 8笔记本，开始摆弄起来。她捣鼓了十多分钟，还是一无所获，于是向我求助。

"Excuse me, can you help me out with this?"

“不好意思，你能帮我弄下这个吗？”

"Of course, What is it?", always interested to play around with the then newly released Windows 8.

“当然可以啊，有什么问题吗？”那个时候Win 8系统刚发布，我很有兴趣上手摆弄一下。

"I am unable to catch wi-fi signals on this?"

“我的笔记本搜不到WIFI（无线网络）？”

I look at her, with all my shock and horror clearly visible on my face.

我难掩震惊地看着她说：

"We're 30,000 ft. up in the air, how on earth would you get wi-fi here??"

“我们在三万英尺（约九千多米）的高空，你在这儿怎么可能搜得到WIFI呢？？”

(I know about ATG systems like OnAir, but they aren't available in India.)

（我知道OnAir之类的ATG系统，但印度没有这些。）

But she thought she was wiser, and chose to say something, which almost made me smash my head on her laptop.

不过她觉得自己更聪明，又说了句话，差点让我一头撞死在她的笔记本电脑上。

"But my laptop has 'airplane mode'. Wi-fi should work in airplanes, No?"

“但我的笔记本有‘飞行模式’啊，WIFI在飞机上应该也能用，不是吗？”

I had just hit the rock bottom of tech-lowness in my life, and in that flight, I chose to sleep, instead.

我跌到了人生中的技术谷底，在接下来的航行中，我决定还是睡觉算了。
