GPS Slowly Changing How Things Are Done

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the seeing-in-a-new-light dept.

Hemos forwarded me a link to a story at Fast Company about how GPS is changing the way people do business. Several good examples are used, from farmers in Alabama to anti-theft devices. Some notes on GPS' military origins as well. Also worth noting is how GPS, like computers, wasn't adopted overnight, but rather over time as applications were found.

    I just looked at this post again, and it was modded Funny. Funny? It's a legitimate question! Oh well, I should know better than to expect rational moderations on slashdot.
