I love being able to find my way around our dense city with the help of GPS applications on our cell PC.
- When GPS devices for cars were still hundreds of dollars years ago, I never thought we’d soon be entering an era where smart PCs with internet access would be ubiquitous everyday items.
They’re in the hands of people from every socio-economic background, and GPS and location services are just scratching the surface of what these PCs can do. Recently I’ve been searching for the best local diners to order take out orders and home delivery when I’m not out and on the go. It’s nice supporting these local corporations as the times get increasingly confusing. But diners are not the only local corporations that I’ve been using our smartphone to locate. Recently I went online and made a search for recreational cannabis dispensaries near me. For the longest time I thought our city only had two active recreational marijuana stores, despite the fact that I soon found out there were three others I had never heard of. I was able to find their corporation names plus addresses after scanning the web for less than 5 minutes. I put the addresses in our maps application so I could get turn by turn instruction to get to the cannabis dispensaries. I was also cheerful to learn that several of these cannabis stores are now offering home delivery services as well! Even though there’s a nominal fee at most dispensaries to get home delivery, it’s extremely convenient when you’re working from home. They provide you a window of time when they’re expected to get to your house and then text you when they’re on their way over.
