First it was a couple driving down the side of the mountain on a hiking trail. Then it was a woman driving into a river. Now, I read about a Nevada couple who got stranded for three days in the mountains of Oregon after driving down a logging road. What do all of these people have in common? GPS systems.

In all three of these events, the drivers made wrong turns. Why, because they were following the instructions from their GPSs.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I think that GPS systems are great. But, they are only as good as the person using them.

So, while technology can do wonderous things, it can’t replace common sense.
