GPS+Sarah+Denbigh

The GPS is a personal navigation device that allows you to know where you are, how to get where you want to go, and how long it will take to get there. Before the GPS, people used Mapquest, before Mapquest, people used maps, before maps, people used a compass. The compass was devolped by the U.S Military. I think the GPS is better then written down direction becuase it doesn't only give you a visual look, it gives you voice, and even time and distance. The GPS heps you find resturants, national parks, historic monuments, and many more.

The GPS was not used around when my parents were my age. They used maps that they always carried just incase they got lost or for a long car ride. The military used the GPS around the 1980s but it was not introduced to the public until about five or ten years ago. GPS are everywhere now and I think they are extremely useful and alot of people who grew up with GPS don't understand how much it changed things. The GPS is even programed in cars, phones, ipods, ipads, or just seperatly.

The GPS is something, today, everyone knows about and almost everyone has. You can find out about GPS by advertisement, friends, or peer pressure. It is sold by advertisement by commercials or newspaper ads. It is sold through friends becuase poeple can hear about the advertisements and the word travels through. The GPS can be sold through peer pressure becuase for some people who might not have it see other people have it and see them talk about it and get pressured into getting it. The GPS has effected everyone. It has help people know when they will arrive so it helps people not be late for work, it helps people have no problem with finding where they need to be if they are visiting friends or family, and it even effects the future technologies becuase it was one of the first things that could be your own personal navigation system and track where you are and going. I personally think that the GPS is fine the way it is and cannot get any better. I think that the indruction to the GPS created a positive effect to everyone.
