problem using touchscreen phones. But the fact still remains that large buttons/keys is the way to go with regards to our grandparent’s list of features. A feature that I did not include in the list for the phone I would purchase is GPS (Global Positioning System). This‚ I feel‚ is an important feature that should feature on phones of today. It comes in handy when you have meetings to attend and you are not certain of the location. And it is also best to have it feature on your phone than to buy a

The thought of computer micro ID chips in humans has been around in a sense for a few thousand years. The use of the global positioning system "GPS" has been a remarkable tool for the modern man. This device can be used in cars to help people get to their destination‚ or in the hand of a hunter to retrace his lucky hunting spot way out in the middle of nowhere in the woods. Recently a school in California has inserted GPS chips in their student ID cards so the school knows where the students are

What is a GPS? GPS‚ a device known as Global Positioning System is a tool used for tracking locations‚ finding routes for certain places and for finding the position of objects‚ people and yourself. This device uses a satellite based network to provide you with necessary information to a certain place or location you wish to go to. This technology uses signals that are transmitted from satellites to the earth which are captured by monitoring stations on the earth then sent to the receivers

Geocaching In adventure books and movies‚ the hero sometimes has to follow a map to find a buried treasure. Today‚ a new sort of adventure sport has become popular in which people use technology to “find” treasures. Geocaching involves global positioning satellites‚ maps‚ and participants’ sense of adventure to locate specific geographic spots. These could be situated in a local area and tracked down in “real time” or located anywhere on Earth and identified virtually. As you know‚ every point

While the technology available to Christopher Columbus in 1492 was certainly sufficient to impress his memory firmly upon future generations‚ if he had had access to modern navigational techniques and technology‚ the organization and outcome of his voyages would have been vastly different. Methods of elucidating longitude in Columbus’s time were nonexistent‚ and those for determining latitude could be deeply flawed. Thus‚ given the defective nature of the technology Columbus employed on his voyages

"People in the new generations always depend too much on technologies‚ which are not consistent‚" he said. He also added that one of the most stable and powerful tool in the world is our brain. "All routes and shortcuts are in my brain‚ The Global Positioning System (GPS) took less than 3 years in researching their route‚ but I took 15 years of driving experience." He refused to use the navigation system and rather suggest that human experience is the best tool for driving. "By using Street View‚ it

The Fundamentals of the Global Positioning System Introduction The Global Positioning System or the GPS is known for making its users reach their destination accurately without the use of paper maps. The GPS system makes the lives of their users a lot easier because of this‚ not to mention that this system is also user friendly. A lot of our new technology and devices these days are meant to make our lives easier and allow its users to become more productive and efficient‚ but are these devices
