A recent survey found that Facebook is the most popular app in the US. Not at all shocking, until you consider what app it passed to claim the number one spot — Google Maps.
Yes, I know it is surprising that an app with an actual real life application was number one.
With Google Maps’ dethroning, it’s official the Internet has won. Fresh air, sunlight and actual human interaction, you put up a good fight. But it turns out we don’t actually need you.
Just give us a smart phone and some “friends” and we’re good to go…and by “go” we mean sit around and do absolutely nothing.
After all, the world is a big scary place. How are we suppose to get from point A to point B without some sort of guidance. Who knows what could happen out there. Seriously, anyone?
Rumors of people getting lost or tripping and falling (even when they’re not distracted by a smart phone), are enough to keep anyone indoors.
Come to think of it, you know what would help…an app…maybe something interactive with a bird’s eye view of the streets and buildings. Maybe something like Google Maps?
…you’re welcome Google.
