Driving Blind

I'm pretty sure it is illegal (against the law) to text and drive, at least in Indiana.  So, I sure am glad the Auto makers are now installing miniature TV screens in their vehicles so we will not get bored with the simple task of navigating a 4000 pound vehicle at a high rate of speed amongst dozens of others that might be pre-occupied with their miniature TV screens.  We have seemingly become a population that is bored with something so mundane as driving.  Heck fire, some of us now need vehicles that can park themselves.  At least we don't have to stop looking at the TV!

I think we could just get an APP that shows us the way from point A to point B with detailed overviews of whats at that destination and then we wouldn"t even have to put down our phones to screw with a car.   I grew up in an era that enjoyed driving a car.  I still enjoy the trip from A to B.  And most of the time I can get there without TOMTOM.  Crap,  I can still park the dad gum contraption ALL BY MYSELF!!!

  1. Go Dad! I hate when I ask someone for directions and they tell me to MapQuest it or put it in my GPS. I DON'T WANT TO! I just want them to tell me how to get from Point A to Point B. Thank you, that is all.

  2. I love driving, especially in the evenings with the windows down. I hope people don't lose sight of those kinds of simple things.
