Somewhere along technological advances we went wrong. Maps have been around for thousands of years, how is it that Yahoo, Google, and MapQuest can’t even give me clear directions? Yahoo and Google pretty much have every resource on the planet at their disposal. So why is it that they add steps that aren’t there, mis-name roads, and can’t figure out the easiest instead of the shortest way to get somewhere.
It just strikes me as odd that after milleniums of cartography; you can still get lost going to the movies. I think my computer’s spell-check has more intelligence than the cumulative wealth of Google Maps. No, I’m not pointing the finger at Google or Yahoo, since they are both just search-engine-based companies and they deserve an applause for at least trying to make directions easier. But MapQuest, MapQuest should be able to figure out the difference between a highway and a city!
Only one more reason to agree that the computer age has just started and you should never expect perfection. (Although I try to get as close as possible.) Comment if you’ve ever seen this site broken…
