GPS and the Lost Art of Getting Lost

A neuroscientist's GPS malfunction during a drive in Israel sparked reflection on society's heavy reliance on satellite navigation technology, which became widely available to civilians in 2000 and now powers billions of devices globally. GPS was originally developed as a military technology by the U.S. Department of Defense, but has since become an "invisible guiding hand" in everyday life, raising questions about what happens when this technology fails or is deliberately jammed, as Israel does for military purposes.
