i like this guy because all he posts are concepts for devices that re-segregate all the features that have been combined into a single device back into their own devices "what if the iOS calculator was a standalone device?"

Read an article about first nations tribes in the north having an issue where everyone especially the youth started using gps and driving snowmobiles in a straight line because it's easy and that pretty directly led to a spike in deaths because they stopped reading the terrain to find sinkholes and other perils in the snow so now they are trying to figure out ways to have both

I remember reading this article a while back about London cab drivers having to undergo extremely rigorous tests about their knowledge of the streets, right down to being able to identify a specific pub from as vague instructions as "the door had two gargoyles on it"

Goons posting their Ls, I grew up with GPS, have a great sense of direction, and know all the big streets near me. The secret is not owning a car and taking public transit

its easy to use gps without destroying your sense of direction, input your route ahead of time, gaze upon it and consider, and then drive the route without consulting the gps again. it forces you to remember where you're going and what streets are where, very powerful brain ability.
