The Oddity of Auto-Pilot

Since the advent of the cell phone apendage (not the Zack Morris phone, but the phone you panic over if you leave the house without it), we can now "multi-task." The truth is, we really can't fully focus on driving when we're busy catching up on the week's gossip - that's when auto-pilot kicks in. By the time you've gotten to Wednesday on the phone, you've gone 6 miles and have no idea how you got there. Now I suppose, this is all relatively safe - unless of course your auto-pilot is set for a place different than where you were intending to go. How much time is lost because we've gone the wrong way on auto-pilot? "None, really!" We reason, because, after all, we were mutli-tasking! Thank goodness for cell phones - for we'd never get anything done without them!
