I Think I'm Lost

Have you ever been driving some where and not have a clue of where you are going. I know I have. With todays technology you never have to deal with being lost again. GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) is a device that tells you where you are at all times. You can key in a destination and it can give you direction of exactly where to go.

Advancements have been made to these devices over the past few years. Many of these GPS systems you can now load movies, music, and pictures on and watch them when you don not need direction. Most have voice communication and tell you aloud when to turn. Most cell phone now are coming with GPS applications and can tell you when there is heavy traffic approaching, roads are closed, or if there is a faster route you can take. You can easily key in point A to point B and decide if you want the quickest route, shortest route, or if you need to stop by certain points of intrest or rest stops along the way.

These devices can help many people out. Truck drivers can use these to find the quickest route and have supplies delivered faster. Police and emergency personel can use these devices to serve the community by knowing the most direct or faster way to get to a crime seen or accident. With the GPS technology many lives can be saved by having a faster response time to any scenerio.

At first just the early makes were mostly picked up by gadget fanatics or people who just wanted to stay up to date with the latest technology. Now you can find these devices coming stock in most cars, cell, phones, and even some marine vehicles. Whatever the reason may be for needing one, I suggest you investing in one. You never know when you made make the wrong turn and end up lost on the way to a very important meeting or job interview.

The top five GPS systems on the market now include:

Garmin Nuvi 880

Todays Cameras

Cameras have been around since the early 1800s when the first permanent photograph was taken. Since that time many advances have happened in this field. It use to take a day to produce a picture, technology advanced and soon it only took an hour. this still cost quite a bit of spending to produce pictures and you were never sure if they would turn out in the best quality or not.

Today there is digital cameras, you can tell as soon as you take a picture if it a good take or not. The production of pictures today is simple and quick taking only a few seconds depending on the printer.  If you are ever worried about a bad photograph don't worry. simple photo editing programs can make the worse picture look excellent and professional. With these programs you don't have to worry about a red eye effect or blemishes on  you or someone else. 

If you have ever wanted to get into photography or picture editing (like I do for a hobby) now is a great time. Cameras are inexpensive and editing programs cheap. With todays advances in technology it takes little skills to begin doing something you have always wanted to do.
