Watch out!

So do you think technology help improve our living? In most of the cases, it's definitely positive. But in some rare cases, technology is really bad...

So let me introduce a technology which is disastrous: the GPS.

GPS=Global Positioning System.

Its novel intention is to guide drivers to navigate. Or for anyone who need direction to find their destination. But sometimes, we can never reach our destination by solely relying on the technology.

Let's see some of my findings

Case Study 1
Location: Arboretum, a place in USA
Time: the past Wednesday
Who: 21 Garfield High School (a school that enrolls only Garfield's fans) girls
A bus driver
A bus
A GPS device
A bridge
A warning sign

How: A bus is driven by a bus driver. The bus driver using the GPS device to navigate. There are 21 Garfield High School Girls on the bus back from a softball game.
And the journey was just like a normal bus ride...which (assumed) some girls reading Garfield comic books and watching the animation with iPod Touch.
Then a CRASH! and it's not a normal crash but the bus was plowed into overpass bridge!
The reason: The driver never use his common sense to look at the warning sign & what's infront of him...but he instead trust the GPS and just drove through the obviously low overpass bridge. What a great driver....My reasoning suggests the driver thought he's driving a VW Beetle.
The moral of the story: never drive with GPS.

Case study 2:
This is a short study investigating the unfavorable circumstance brought by GPS.
"Villagers in Carmarthenshire say they fear restoration work is being damaged by drivers using satellite navigation."Quoted from BBC.
BecauseAfter restored, the building will be damaged again...The culprits: drivers who drive giant vehicle using GPS. They never see how narrow the street...but as long as there's a way, it's a way.

So this is technology.
