Where's our technology Ron Paul?]]>Jan 21st 2008 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 22nd 2008 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/
But the problem is - a new generation that becomes so completely dependent on them - that the ability to be proactive and to use common sense is not shapened.

So in essence, when the technologies STOP working - they could potentially suffer more.

Heck, I'm sure they're already testing which way is better.]]>Jan 21st 2008 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/It's a good idea but surely the kids are gonna explode if something of theirs gets turned off. That won't remove hecticness in the car, it would make it worse! =P]]>Jan 21st 2008 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/]]>Jan 21st 2008 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/
Also, I don't agree with Stud Hunk, not for this anyways, this is just one of those 'niceties' that will eventually become the norm (like electric windows), but I do agree that some technologies are being taken for granted, my sister for example, has no idea how to read a map, but she can set a course in a GPS in 5secs, if her GPS failed and was out of cell reception, I'm not sure what she would do!]]>Jan 21st 2008 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/

I mean, in that scenario, you're left sitting in a quiet car, saddened by the fact that you failed to do more than one thing at a time...]]>Jan 21st 2008 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/Jan 21st 2008 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/intelligent-dashboard-could-shut-off-distractions-to-improve-rea/
