A Digital Crutch

this was in the editorial "rants & raves" letters to the editor section of WIRED last month. I thought it was interesting/funny.

"After reading "Inside the GPS Revolution" (issue 17.02), I realized that GPS is turning people into idiots. You need it to hail a cab, find a toilet, and wake yourself up? Are we becoming so narcissistic in our own little technological wombs that we can't do simple everyday tasks? Do we need an app to tell us to eat? To breathe? To take a dump? This isn't an advance; it's pathetic.
