Over the past few days I have noticed an area that technology has changed people with the invention and availability of Global Positioning Systems. The GPS is everywhere now, if its not in your car on a tomtom or garmin, its for sure on your smart phone in your pocket. This availability of information and direction has enabled much more efficient travel to unfamiliar places. Yesterday I was navigating through Beaumont, TX like I'd lived there my entire life because Siri was just telling me where to go. Not only has GPS allowed millions of people to travel without getting lost, Parents are literally lo-jacking their children using the GPS capabilities of the kids' phones. Check out this link, its obviously pretty biased toward GPS but the site brings up some valid points.          http://rachelgreenberg.tripod.com/id12.html
