You know, your response gave me an idea. Google could significantly contribute to world understanding and human interrelatedness by changing the ethnicity of its bad computerized turn-by-turn voice every month or so. This May, we'd be forced to listen to a bad computerized Norwegian turn-by-turn, and that would force me to get to know more Norwegians in order to try to get used to the voice. In June, it would be a bad Carribean accent, and I would seek out Jamaicans to invite to dinner or a movie. In July, a bad French accent, in August, a bad Irish accent, in September, a bad Italian accent, in October, a bad Swahili accent, in November, a bad Polish accent, and in December, a bad Urdu accent. Fortunately, because we are with Sprint, most of us are so familiar with bad Urdu accents that I don't think we'd have to actually become friendly with them. But, just think of it, at the end of one year's time we will have significantly expanded our circle of friends and whittled away our chronic zenophobic world view. However, it still might prove difficult driving to visit all our new-found foreigner friends - I'd think I'd rather switch on Sprint Navigation to do that, just to be safe.
