A story about GPS that ran yesterday got me angry. “Navigation gadgets are now so widely available no one needs to worry about getting lost anymore — except when they’re trying to choose the right device.” There is no doubt as to the great technology that is GPS and even that for the military it has important applications, but for the vast majority of users, it’s just another way that as a society we are getting lazier and dumber. I understand if you are in a foreign country like Israel or Italy and you need to rent a car but you have no idea where you are and can’t even read the street signs. For this, I am all for GPS. But when a friend of mine needs it to navigate through a city that he has lived in for 12 years, I begin to wonder. If we as a society can’t figure out how to get from point A to point B, what does that say about us? What ever happened to using a good ole map?

FRANKFURT (AFP) — The European Central Bank is expected to leave interest rates on hold again when it meets here Thursday as a strong euro and slower growth help offset higher inflation, its main concern, analysts say.
Many feel the ECB rate hiking cycle, which began in December 2005 to bring lending costs to their current 4.0 percent, has now peaked out and that the next step, but perhaps not for some time, will be down.
