One of the more used electronic devices in Korea is the GPS. They are used very often and I'm not sure they are so good. I agree that for long distances they are very helpful in finding a place you want to go to. In Korea though, there are a lot of undeveloped areas and roads and because a GPS will direct you to get there the quickest way possible, but sometimes you will end up in the middle of nowhere.
Yesterday I was driving with this guy to go to an interview and he used the GPS. He even told me that he doesn't look at the road or road signs usually because he's always looking at the GPS screen! The same situation happened a few weeks ago driving with another guy. He didn't know the area very well and he missed a turn. Next thing you know we are in an alley in the middle of nowhere. I told him that he was relying on that machine and not using his common sense.
"What's that", he asked.
"Exactly", I said politely.
