Gen W on Spring Break

Posted on Thursday, March 16, 2006 at 11:21 AM (permalink)

My daughter Jessica is spending her 19th birthday and Spring Break crisscrossing the country in a Mini Cooper with two college friends and her daddy's credit card. It doesn't get much better than that, does it? She called to check in today, and told me she had left Tampa and was heading towards Cleveland. I asked if they planned on passing through Tennessee, and she said she didn't know because they were playing "guess the next state." They put a destination into the GPS, and just follow directions. It isn't their shaky geography that is so amazing, it is their total confidence in technology. I wonder how long it will be before map mashups appear on GPS systems?
