Description
Navigation apps can get us almost anywhere. But what happens when convenience becomes the default way we experience the world?
In this episode of Outside the Fox, Kim and Steve explore how GPS, reviews, and recommendation algorithms have transformed the way we travel, find restaurants, and discover new places. They discuss everything from public transit and fitness trackers to five-star reviews, hidden gems, and whether today's navigation tools are helping us explore—or simply guiding us toward the same destinations as everyone else.
Has technology made exploration better for you, or do you miss the days of getting a little lost? Let us know in the comments.
