Re: Do you use GPS?

Hehe... I hope someone puts me out of my misery if I ever do that to anyone! When any piece of technology takes that much of one's attention, it's time to "lose" it.

This reminds me of folks who now obsessively check their voicemail or otherwise fiddle with their cellphone any time they're waiting, regardless of the length of the wait... standing in line, sitting at a traffic light (when they just checked their phone 2 lights back...), waiting in a doctor's office (every 10 minutes, checking it again or making another call.) Of course, I've done some of those things, back when my cellphone was provided by my employer and was an ever-present tether to "responsibilities".

Over time, though, I evolved (or devolved?) so it was simply a tether I turn off and ignore when I need to...
