GPS

I am apparently a bit behind with the times. I have been driving around aimlessly using manual directions, watching for street signs and exit numbers and actually using a map when I get off course....what a caveman I have been! Well, a friend of ours left their GPS behind and we have been using it for the past few weeks. How have I survived? I put in the address where I'm going and I start driving along and a woman in a very sophisticated British accent says "in 2.3 miles, bear left, then exit left"I know some of you are laughing at me because you have had one of these things for years now, but I'm excited! then I find out that they need it back this week....what? No more sophisticated British accent direction lady? Are you kidding me? How will I get around? We need to go buy a GPS! To think that we once lived without cell phones and computers and Ipods....really! And one day we will be saying "remember when we had to actually manually drive our cars?" Human conditioning is amazing! Just last month I was getting around the old fashioned way.....googling an address and having an itemized printout within 60 seconds. Now I hear that I'm losing "my" GPS and it's like somebody poked my eyes out and gave me a lobotomy. I remember before I had a cell phone, I had about 30 phone numbers memorized in my head, now I had to use a memory technique to remember my wife's number. If we suddenly lost all modern technology , we would all be walking around like zombies...for a little while. Then, soon after, you know what would happen? We would figure out how to live without it. That's how amazing humans are. We only think that we are dependant on it. We can live without technology, we just choose not to, and I'm grateful that we do.
