Well duh. Round earth has been demonstrated by incontrovertible photographic evidence.

Glad I could help. Just FYI, GPS has been in use in aviation since the 90s (example). Full glass panel units with integrated GPS (example) have been around for over 10 years. On airliners, GPS integration usually manifests simply as new indications of the flight management system interfaces (+ improved capabilities of the system, note "GPS PRIMARY" on the linked picture and "ESTIMATED" accuracy of +-0.09NM). Generally, airlines don't like to alter their cockpits too much.

Its interesting to me that these dystopian stories are all about a central authority "watching" and "listening" to us so they can intervene and control us. But as witnessed in 2016 rather then listening, it is more of a case of personalized narrow casting into our filter bubbles which then "creates" the reality for the individual. So instead of millions of "SeeChanges" its millions of invisible hooded worm tongues whispering into the ears of citizens convincing them of a reality that is sometimes at odds with what they can see with their very own eyes. http://scontent.cdninstagram.c...

Perhaps we can add "epic selfie" to George Carlin's list of oxymorons ("jumbo shrimp," "military intelligence," etc).

Well, I suppose there are rare times when the term "epic selfie" could have a legitimate meaning, maybe something like this one?

The only thing that comes to my mind is this quote:
