The purpose of technology is clear: it makes our lives easier. Thanks to the introduction of technology in our daily lives, people have been able to perform their daily tasks in a much easier and faster way. A clear example is the smartphone, because with it we can connect with people faster, know what's going on anywhere in the world and yet thanks to the internet and in particular, be able to navigate without problems thanks to GPS built into these tools.
But note, that technology makes our lives easier doesn't mean we have to rely on it all the time. Not because technology can fail from time to time, or when they tell these hundreds of drivers that Google Maps took a quagmire, but also because paying attention to what technology tells you is not always proposed
The driver literally listens to Google Maps and ends up in the river
It happened in downtown Minneapolis about 3 o'clock. According to CBSN Minnesota News, firefighters had to park the driver who had hijacked their vehicle within the Mississippi River. Top hours of the night, hopeless driver and Google MapsWhat went wrong?
According to a saved driver's statement, Google Maps had instructed him to cross the river to reach his destination. Anyone with two toes will know that this guide means crossing a river with a particular ridge or bridge, not crossing the river itself, but this unique person decided to listen to the actual Google app. Obviously, when it says Google Maps is worth paying attention.
Apart from this curious anecdote that makes us think that human stupidity is sometimes endless (and it doesn't mean that the driver was drunk at the time of the accident), these stories serve as a reminder that while technology can help us, it should never replace our common sense or common sense.
Relying solely on new technology is not recommended. If someone has something good for other living beings, it is your ability to think and to think. When we replace it with the computer we think of, what do we become? Indeed, for people who decide to cross the river with water and a car because their smartphone has told them to "cross the river with the next exit on the right hand".
