Wow; massively compounding the obvious, an inane addiction to technological processes.

Why not find a CIA operative, then have yourself shadowed; while paying off "the company" to get your data?

To me, the simplicity of a mechanical mile counter is the main attraction; wherein, I think having one of those which is quality made-will determine satisfaction in the end.

There does seem to be a wide degree of difference in what I can see on line, in the relative quality which had been offered: While I doubt any of them were made to be particularly high quality, either.

Maybe someone in the contemporary market, could offer a device combining all the best of the rest; while also establishing a high degree of quality and reliability, too? Even advances since then in various aspects of design and manufacture; could realize an affordable yet reasonably advanced, better quality unit.

For another thing, all the electronic devices use up batteries; which are biohazards in the making: Really a confounding thing, for an interest so supposedly eco-friendly.

Plus, I myself have become so dependent upon gadgets, such as calculators; I need to take off my shoes, to count to twenty. Imagine a war between two nations; one dependent upon robots, the other all martial artists. What sort of citizen is the culmination of each; and of which, is more worth preserving?

I'm probably ultimately remiss, in worrying at all about my travel data; reminding me of a friend Gair Gerlinger, when during a visit in '82 for a couple weeks he'd never been more than a minute or two off compared to my inexpensive Casio watch, guessing the time of day when I'd ask.

Someone impressive for penurious habits by the way; as an anti-war tax resister, never earning enough he'd have to report his income: Who during 2007 came up with this ingenious way of dealing with his dental problems; by becoming a medical tourist in Bali.
