	I find it "fascinating" how I can't use a phone while I'm driving,
but there is a touch screen interface I must use to control the
AC/heater, navigation,  control the lights, wipers, make a 'hands
free' phone call once I've connected my phone to the car, use the dash
board infotainment system, all the while it's updating time, weather,
direction, game scores and headlines.  Whether I want that flickering
in my peripheral vision or not.

	IMHO "Yes but.."

	Yes but I have seen what it called progress before, in an egg.  It
was going bad.

	All of the computer aided tech is a wonderful thing till something
goes on the fritz.  Then the entire thing is junk because the digital
clock no longer works, the driver door window control is _not_ the
problem but something else  (when they got to $1700 just for parts
alone, I traded it for a 'newer' car.), "it's a software/hardware
glitch', etc.
