GPS (Global Positioning System)

A GPS or Global Positioning system is something that was first invented by Ivan Getting and the U.S. Government and used to pinpoint anything ships and submarines, could measure Mount Everest, and make overall measurements and pinpoint locations within only a centimeter! In today's world GPS is used commonly in cars to help navigate you to where you need to go. It is much easier than the previously used paper map, that you have to read and follow. In many cars the GPS system will literally tell you when to turn, making it much easier and safer to drive. This is an example of media because the GPS uses the voice of a person to aid you in where you are going. This video is a spoof on the power and intelligence of the GPS, but I would not doubt that in the future this is possible!
