GPS, a New Enternainer For Kids

Now again, suprising me a lot, when I got an email from my friend, Mike Sanders who is working at one of Market Survey company in the US.


He wrote me:
Kamila's mom,
Guest whats gonna suprising you? GPS is a new enternainer, here is the report :)

Here is the summary of the report:

The survey of more than 3,000 was conducted in April by Decision Analyst on behalf of U.S. electronics retailer Circuit City Stores Inc. With the summer travel season looming on the horizon, the survey also questioned parents as to what electronics devices were important to take on a family car trip.

Not surprisingly, with entertaining children factored in, GPS navigation fell in importance compared to entertainment devices and mobile phones.

The results clearly spotlight parents priorities in keeping children occupied in the car:

• 98 percent rated a cell phone as very or somewhat important.
• 71 percent rated a portable or in-car DVD player as very or somewhat important.
• 57 percent rated portable video games as very or somewhat important.
• 53 percent rated GPS navigation as very or somewhat important.
• 52 percent rated a notebook computer as very or somewhat important

S o, will it happen here in Indonesia? Educating the people with Map!
