I am convinced so many people walking around shopping centers need the GPS on their phone to get around.
See them all the time staring at the screen with a quizzical look on their face.

Other pedestrians should be able to have a landsman’s version of a Yokohama fender built round them to avoid collisions with such dangerous people not looking when they are going ?

phone zombies are everywhere these days, I wonder how many accidents they cause never mind car drivers using their phones.

A number here in Oz have been seriously injured, step of the sidewalk without looking.
Poor bloody drivers then get the blame for not watching out for such idiots!!!!!

Wonder if anyone remembers a sextant.

#19 .once learned never forgotten Alan.1.it is the instrument used for measuring angles in any plane either vertical, horizontal or oblique
2. The principle….Is based on two well known optical laws, one…the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection and two…
If a ray of light suffers two successive reflections by two plane mirrors in the same plane, then the angle between the first Ray of light and the second
Ray of light is equal to twice the angle subtended between the inclination of the mirrors.
If you didn’t know that vertabin then you could expect being sent back to sea for six months until you did.
That amongst other instruments e.g. the barometer , the aneroid barometer , the hydrometer , the hygrometer, the marks on the lead line,
the patent sounding machine and a few more have forgotten that no doubt others could mention plus of course the
rule of the road , was the basic early learning for would be second mates.and that was coming up 70 years ago.Cheers JS.
