News story about an elderly couple from the UK driving in Germany. This is one of those cases where common sense should prevail, but they were just too trustful and dependent on their GPS instructions and drove smack dab into the side of a church.
However, before we all chuckle and guffaw (as I originally did), it made me pause for a moment and think, how many times have I just blindly followed what technology dictates. Certainly not to the extent of something as immediate obvious as "oh dear, there's a brick wall, should I stop, or should I go..." sort of thing, but still, there are probably numerous subtle instances in my life where I have engaged fingers and disengaged the brain.
