TECH B Y S U N N Y B AT E S Garmin Oregon 400t “My husband has no idea what ‘right turn’ means.” Bose QuietComfort 15 “I don’t want people to intrude on my inner life — especially my family.” MacBook Air Laptop Cradlepoint PHS300 Personal Wi-Fi “I can watch TED anywhere, improving my brain but not having to pay for it with overseas bills.” Kensington Travel Plug Adapter “An international plug adapter with a USB charger! I need a lot of power, but don’t tell the eco-whatever part of me. She will be furious.” “So that none of my writing gems are ever wasted but splattered into the clouds where they can live forever.” FAB CLASS Comedienne Ruby Wax became a star in England by playing up her American vivacity. As a standup comic and then a television host, she became known for her fearless nerve and brash style, a combination that showed up in spades in “Absolutely Fabulous,” the cult TV show for which she oversaw the scripts, and in which she occasionally appeared. More recently, she has published a best-selling autobiography, “How Do You Want Me?” and became an advocate for mental illness following the diagnosis of her own depression. Juggling comedy and public service with her family life creates a hectic travel schedule, for which she has assembled a battery of tech support. The most crucial is the app TravelTracker. “Sometimes I pack at the last minute, and thanks to it, I can find out before I get to the airport where I’m actually going and that my destination is the Maldives even though I’ve packed for skiing,” she says. And the travel aide she’d most like to see invented? “A robot that always makes me fly first-class, gives me money and is enchanted every time I open my mouth. Unlike my husband.” RU BY’S FAVOR ITE APPS HootSuite “To make sure I am loved by thousands of people I’ve never met.” Spotify “For listening to all my favorite Indian world music, so when I do evolve I’ll have some background music.” Evernote “I don’t know what this is but my son says it would be cool if I say I use it.” Google Calendar “To see where the rest of the family have gone — and if I am still included in their plans.” Draw Something “This is something my son put on my thing, and I can’t get it off.” Spellcheck “Helps hide the fact I am illiterate.” Skype “I only use it after I’ve been fully made up by a professional. Otherwise, no one is seeing me that close up.” Blackberry Curve “For some of the millions of calls I’m addicted to making; even if it’s a wrong number, I’ll talk for hours.” Amazon Kindle “I can read the sample and tell people I read the whole book.” iPhone 4S “For listening to meditation tapes on the tube so I can become aware of my breathing rather than aware that I’m on the tube.” Chargepod “I collect gadgets to keep my other gadgets working. It’s like eating your young.” Find other high-tech gadgets perfect for travelers at . / 42 W W W. R I T Z C A R LT O N .
