oday’s high tech living and working has many people stressed over staying in touch with the pulse of the world. They demand Internet connections and cellular capabilities even in the most remote locations. Technology is shrinking the globe, yet more and more people are demanding to "get away from it all," while remaining in contact with important interests. Those who feel stressed about getting "away from it all," even on vacation, needn't worry: the high seas have gone high tech. Most cruise ships are "connected" with 24-hour Internet cafes, onboard e- mail addresses and video postcards. Some lines feature staterooms wired for Internet access and many offer computer-learning classes. Friends and relatives back home can follow your progress via Web cams scattered throughout the vessel.
