There was a time humans were guided by stars, not satellite. Now you can beam into robots, or turn on GPS. But when we put ourselves on autopilot we may lose our minds.
This week, Manoush outsources her body to a telepresence robot. And finds out what GPS has done to her brain. Turn right, turn left, right off a cliff.
With Greg Milner, author of Pinpoint: How GPS is Changing Technology, Culture, and Our Minds.
We have photos of robot Manoush in this week's newsletter. If you don't already get it, sign up here.
