Global Positioning System (GPS)
GPS is a navigation and precise-positioning tool. Developed by the Department of Defense in 1973, it was originally designed to assist soldiers and military vehicles, planes, and ships in accurately determining their locations world-wide. Today, the uses of GPS have extended to include both the commercial and scientific worlds.
To me the GPS ability to navigate through map and communicate a direction to a user within just short period of time I found to be very irresistible, and this is reason why I chose it for my weekly analysis.
There are so many added advantages using GPS. It lessens our daily commute. We can use it during long trip vacation and not worry about printing driving direction or getting lost.
My concern when comes to electronic gadgets is we have become too much dependable and attach to them to point that can’t function without it. This is bad to our brain function especial memory. How far are willing to go with this addiction? .Do we them trust this device? Are we sure they are all accurate all the time? These are some of personal question we need to ask ourselves.
