Hello! And welcome back to the Curious Kid podcast. Technology is amazing. There are things that exist today that I couldn't have possibly imagined when I was a kid. And I'm not even that old. I was a kid in the 1980s. Things like smartphones, self-driving cars,

and artificial intelligence were the stuff of science fiction movies when I was a kid. Growing up,

if my family was driving somewhere and we were lost, we would have a paper map and we would open

the map up and try to get to

our destination using the map. That's why, when I first saw the technology we're getting curious

about today, my mind was blown. These days, many cars already come with the technology installed.

Any idea what I'm talking about? Let's find out.

Mail bag. Mail bag. Hello Olivia and Jacob. My name is Alana and my brother's name is Albert.

I am nine years old and my brother is six years old. We are from Pretoria, South Africa, and currently live in Japan. We love the podcast and listen to it every day in the car or before bedtime. We learn a lot. I am curious about GPS and my brother is curious about rugby and rugby league. We are also curious about computers, phones, cars, satellites, and the army.

I hope you can get curious about one of these topics soon.

Holy smokes! It's so excited to get messages from Beautiful Japan.

It still surprises me that we have listeners that

enjoy the podcast from places near and far. We are so pumped to get curious about GPS this

week for Alana and Albert. By the way, if you are like Alana and Albert and you are

curious about computers, phones, cars, or satellites,

we covered all those topics in previous episodes, so give those episodes a listen.

It's time to buckle your seatbelts, or you know, just sit down comfortably, and let's explore the world of GPS.

What's the question of the week? In the United States, the most common GPS device people own is their smartphone.

That being said, 170 million Americans own GPS devices other than their smartphones.

Which three other types of GPS devices do at least 25% of Americans own?

There are so many different types of devices that have GPS capability.

So it's going to be interesting to see how many people answer the question correctly.
