What is the point to dial a number to find out the time when you can just look at the screen first and see the time? They need an app for that. "Hey Siri, what time is it?" "U.S. Naval Observatory Master Clock. At the tone, the Eastern daylight time - 14 hours, 20 minutes exactly."
The initial post was about the user interface. The user interface on a Garmin is horrible. Yes, it may work, but it takes you 20 minutes to even figure out how to do something, then you need to actually get around to doing it. Maps on a phone is not that much better, but if you plan your trip in a web browser and transfer it to the phone, it's quick and easy. Garmin used to let you do that, then dropped support for it.
I was dropped of at the airport way early for my flight since my ride had to be somewhere else early. While I was sitting there, they opened the airport magazine shop. To drum up business, the casher put this mechanical toy cow on the floor, and tied a mylar balloon to it's tail that said "Buy me!". She turned it on, and it would walk a few small steps forward, stop, and moo. Well, the crowds came in, and she became to busy to watch the cow. It slowly walked out of the store, and due to a bit of an awkward step, slowly turned and walked down the hallway, mooing all the way. The crowds would part around it when they saw the balloon. After a couple of hours (I had a long wait) the crowds thinned out, and the casher had time to take stock. She soon realized the cow had escaped, and chased it down the hall to corral it.
Back then, information was not shared freely. Scientists hid their findings until they could publish or present, often years later. That is why there they fought over who discovered what, since 5 people might discover it between the first person and when he got around to publishing the result. Hard to prove you did it first.

Hey, it was good enough for Bill Gates, it should work for a hospital system.
