The author tries to contextualize the changing pace of travel and what it has meant for travelling from a point to another.
Explanation:
The writer argues that because the people take less time to reach from point A to point B they actually have proportionally more time to stay or explore point B which was not a luxury provided before.
At the same time it sort of laments the impatience of this generation as we are so used to minimal travel times.
