RE: The GPS revolution

in #blockchain7 years ago

Technology advances and affordability makes it accessible for each of us to own a GPS device. For those who do not know what GPS actually is, in a nut shell, a tracking system created by the U.S. government for spying that finally in the 80s was opened up to the public to use. It consists of three parts: satellites that orbit the Earth, Monitoring stations, and the actual GPS unit.

GPS is not limited to means of travel but also quite prevalent throughout our society. GPS systems help the individual locate points of interest. For instance, one can seek for desired places to stop in the cities in which you visit. If you need medical care, you can find a hospital through GPS. Searching for points of interest on a GPS is quite a benefit of its own. @danizaharie
