Too Late
The More You Let Your Car Drive Itself, The More Your Driving Skills Are Going To Suck
If your car can hit the brakes in an emergency and check your blind spots, will that make you a worse driver? Increasingly, automakers are worrying it may.
Driver-assist technology that keeps cars in their
lanes, maintains a safe distance from other vehicles, warns of unseen
traffic and slams the brakes to avoid rear-end crashes are rapidly
spreading from luxury cars to everyday Hondas, Nissans and Chevys. But
these automated aids aimed at improving safety are having an unintended
consequence: They’re degrading driving skills.

American's Need To Learn To Work Smarter
Working Hard or Hardly Working?
Turns out Americans are as lazy as ever, but at least we’re taking a step out of our slippers in the right direction.
The U.S. Labor Department reported a 0.9% increase in nonfarm business-sector productivity—a fancy way of saying how fast goods and services output rose from April to June. But before you start giving your pal Jim a pat on the back for all that hard work, consider this:
That figure is still well below historical productivity standards of 2.1%. If Americans ever want to see the fruits of our labor pay off in higher salaries and stronger economic growth, we have to start boosting those numbers.
Either that, or your buddy Jim might make way for the new JimBot 9000. We hear that guy’s hilarious.
