Over the past year I have invested in various products that make my life easier. Of course I could manage without them, I actually did before, so then why bother? It adds another level of ease for me and with that ease I'm feeling even better than before, a higher level of feeling better if you like.
It's much like having a great experience and thinking this is as good as it gets, only to discover later that it can actually get better, as a new experience actually topped that one from before.
That's been the case with my navigational system, before the ease of going to mapquest and printing out directions was a big step forward, that replaced carrying a big map and stopping to see how I was doing. Mapquest was more ease than the map book, even with both I still managed to get off track from time to time.
Now with the navigational system I plug in the address and a voice gives me turn by turn directions on where to go. It's much easier than before and I'm sure much like I thought mapquest was as good as it gets, this navigational system will be replaced by something even better and easier.
In the mean time I really appreciate how much more ease it is getting around different cities.
