This writer once lived in the woods in Britain for over 3 years. Although I still listen to the radio from time to time, I tended to ignore the massive changes going on in real life. I first heard the alphabet soup term "GPS" while I was still living in America, but always in the context of an army or large law enforcement or rescue agency. If I heard about a automotive GPS in a radio adverts, I never knew what they were talking about, and did not care to discover.
Welcome (Back) To America
Moving back to America, I was in for a dreadful culture shock. I evaded watching TV as long as I could, but my mum ( who took her wayward child in ) loved it, so that the TV was on all the time. I might practically pound my head against the floor just because I couldn't understand the commercials. My mother had to give me an explanation what "bling" meant. That was a little bit humbling.
At the time, I took computer lessons and tried to get my head together. I definitely needed a automotive GPS to figure out what I was doing. As a lark, I joined many online survey groups. I started getting free samples, and learned what an automobile GPS was. I didn't have much of a choice I was getting 2 or three auto GPS surveys a week.
Back In The Saddle Again
I realized that instead of being annoyed by geeky lingo, automobile GPS dashboard mounted devices were useful and simply understandable gizmos that would help improve the quality of life. Imagine if the kids of Israel had automobile GPS units strapped to their donkeys and camels.
They wouldn't have wandered around in the desert for forty years. They would've found the best road to The promised Land before dinner.
People of my generation and younger get so easily lost because it is simply too perilous to go anywhere. Whenever we plan a road trip, we must permit at least 3 hours to get lost and then find our way again. Think of the waste of gas.
But with an automotive GPS unit, you don't have to waste gas or time to get to your destination. I wonder how much gas is saved by using automobile GPS units.
If I return to the woods, I believe I'll take an automotive GPS device with me. Perhaps then I could make better calls about my life.
