Google travel search features have a big impact on travel search sites such as expedia and tripadvisor.

I remember reading a comparison on how the hotel search features impacted others vs booking.com and the conclusion was that booking.com has alright because it's more of a destination of its' own rather than driven by search traffic.

I am learning drawing. A lot of people who are beginners to drawing experience a block where they struggle to put on the first line on paper, or when they do it they are not satisfied and erase it and start again. You end up not doing anything. That's why in beginner's classes you often get exercises to help you overcome that. Such as covering the whole page with scribbles first and drawing on that. Or timed exercises where you have to finish your drawing in five minutes or a minute or less. The point is to get one accustomed to doing things and doing them again and to realise the first attempt is often not as good as you want and can. I think digital tools make this kind of block even harder because it's so easy to draw something, undo and try again, and the fact you're not wasting film frames, paper or paint makes it harder to get things done? This is certainly my experience with writing. I think this is a useful tool to make you think of this and also help you overcome that kind of block with writing.
