Sea Point | 7 August 2025
We took the long route on our way to doing an errand in Sea Point the other day, just to see what's going on.
The more advanced technology becomes, the less opportunity we have to meander our way to a destination, losing the opportunity to enjoy an unexpected journey as a result.
Before Google Maps took us on a direct route to where we want to go, we followed the general direction suggested by a map book and discovered parts of a city unfamiliar to us.
Before Google took us straight to what we are looking for, we used to page through an encyclopedia; stopping at several unrelated, yet fascinating 'other pages' along the way.
Technology provides us with a quick and direct route to the answer, but robs us of the chance to stumble over the unexpected.
