Interesting article that was in the hard copy of the Dallas
Morning News this past Sunday.

 

Explains in great detail as to how over-reliance on GPS devices
can/will cause of the loss of spatial thought, which is controlled by the
hippocampus in our brains.

GPS is OK if you have coordinates, etc handy. But still not
nearly as handy, while talking on the phone, as a pencil and a note in the
margin: SB 37, Smithson exit, 1.2 m, L Concho St, 3 blk, RT Gibson, 2 blk,
2608, bat stkr. No where near as handy. GPS is a good tool for serious work, a
good toy for just messing around, but a lot of extra work for just getting to
some simple place when basic directions will suffice--way overrated.

I had always thought the hippocampus was a school for Hippopotamuses...
