問題詳情
In 1996 the Wall Street Journal ran an article on the nuisance of satellite navigation devices, cellphones, and other such appliances in the wilderness. All this high-tech 12 , it appears, is drawing up into the mountains people who perhaps should not be there. At Baxter State Park in Maine, the journal reported, one hiker called up a National Guard Unit and asked them to send a helicopter to airlift him off Mount Katahdin because he was tired. On Mount Washington, two very demanding women called the mountain patrol headquarters and said they could not 13 the last mile and a half to the summit even though there were still four hours of daylight left. They asked for a rescue team to come and carry them back to their car. The request was refused. A few days later, another hiker called and requested a helicopter because he was a day 14 and was afraid he would miss an important business meeting. The article also described several people who had got lost with satellite navigation devices. They were able to report their positions as 36.2º north by 17.48º west or 15 , but unfortunately did not have the faintest idea what that meant as they had not brought maps or compasses or, evidently, brains.
