One more example of how we sometimes put too much trust in technology: A driver in New York, following the directions of his GPS device, turns right onto some railroad tracks and gets stuck. He escapes his Ford Focus just before it gets slammed by a train. And this isn't the first time this has happened. Blindly obeying the devices or being distracted by them has caused other accidents across the country.
Who are you going to trust, your GPS or your lyin' eyes?
