    #1? hardly, big problem yes.

    #1 in my book is cell phone addicts and GPS robot drivers.

    GPS robots, don't know where they are going, where they have been, can only blindly follow GPS commands

    Wait I’m supposed to remember where I’ve been and how to get there. But why? When I can just auto pilot it. The predecessor to robots.

    Does Knight have the same orientation as Swift?

    At Swift they make everybody in orientation take a language test on the computer. Everything in english, including reading road signs.
