CBC Radio "Spark" talks about GPSr's

[+murfster]

Spark is a CBC Radio show.. well more than just a show as they try and involve the listeners. Anyway.. if you like technology you will love it. "Spark is a weekly audio blog of smart and unexpected trendwatching. It's not just technology for gearheads, it's about the way technology affects our lives, and the world around us."

 

Wednesday's program May 7 11.30 am is about "The pleasures and perils of being 'on the digital grid'

Host Nora Young talks to John Sanderson of the English village of Wedmore. Ever since trucks started using GPS navigation, big trucks have been rumbling through his picturesque town. GPS systems can't tell that the shortest route between two points isn't always the best route." (don't we know that!)
