I watched Technology of Tomorrow yesterday, where they demonstrated this fancy futuristic solution for women who couldn't find their cars in large parking lots. (Men were already admitted to being superior at locating things, and therefore didn't need one.) It was a handheld plastic device with a display that you should turn so that it showed a simple drawing of a car on it while facing the store. Underneath one could read "CAR". This meant that you were at your car.

The female host explained that this brand new technology utilized the earths magnetic fields in order to locate the car, and then went shopping. After returning from the store, she would just turn around until the display instead read "FIND", and then start walking in this direction. Of corse there were some limits to this brand new inventive technology: It wouldn't tell you how far to walk or when you're reached your car, but it otherwise worked similar to a GPS.
It was a fucking compass, guys. A fucking compass. Way to be behind the rest of us, women. Maybe next it would be time to invent, say, the awesome futuristic "steam engine".
