Just the opposite if we read the comment again. Its enjoyable, not anxiety-inducing.

    Try working for TomTom for a few years. Then you'll have a different perspective about those accursed "personal navigation devices". They didn't appreciate my proposal to develop the TomTomagotchi: a PND with a simulated personality that begs you to drive it all around town to various points of interest it desires to visit in order to satisfy its cravings and improve its mood. I'm sure there's a revenue model getting drive through Burger Kings and car washes to pay for product placements. Here are a couple of short hidden camera one minute movies about frustrated robots we made at the Stupid Fun Club. Stupid Fun Club's "Servitude" One Minute Movie about Robot Servitude, written by Will Wright. Robot brain and personality simulation programmed by Don Hopkins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXsUetUzXlg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXsUetUzXlg Stupid Fun Club's "Empathy" One Minute Movie about Robot Empathy, written by Will Wright.
