There's a story in the news this week about an American woman who is suing Google because one of their streetmap routes led her onto a busy main road where she was then hit by a car.
This is a perfect example of technology overtaking common sense- who would carry on trying to walk along a main road with no pavement simply because their blackberry was telling them to?! I have no doubt that Google have enough money to handle this case, or settle out of court but I just wonder where this is going to lead us in the future- are we going to completely lose control of our minds and the ability to make any decisions? We will have to wait and see...
