I am finding that we are told that gadgets will do just about everything for us and I am currently weaning my self off those that I can avoid, they stifle lateral thinking, limit our hand to eye seat of the pants type stuff and consume our time. I am dreading having to update my telephone, my latest sports-car has DSC and TSCC both of which I am able to switch off but in the not to distant future that will not be the case and drivers will not experience oversteer or loss of traction until the electronics fail, and as for GPS, what ever happened to the romance of maps and the ability to be able to plan trips, who hasn't almost run into the rear of the car in front, (the 'TURN LEFT IN 20 METRES' factor,and all in a foreign accent). I will stop now, but the list goes on.
KISS. Greg.
