I have GamePass, so I thought: "I'll give this a go. How hard can it be? I'm really good in Elite Dangerous."
Turns out: Quite hard. I have a newfound respect for airline pilots.
On a related note, even my RAF cadet experience 20 years ago counted for naught. Whilst I could keep the plane in the air, landing proved the most difficult, and I crashed and bounced and would not have survived without invulnerability switched on.
I remember reading "Heirs of Empire" by David Weber, and it casually mentioned that Dakax had a database that was immutable. I remember thinking that was a good idea, and planned to think about it later, but alas I had forgotten about it by the time I'd finished the book.
I understand what you mean. There's an incredible amount of tactile information in the real world, and I can't help feeling that there's probably almost as much information flowing in as audio or visual (that we as humans can process at any one instant), but I have been unable to find anything to back up my wild hypothesis.
You still have to know exactly the same amount of information to know if someone is working or not, but you only have to know one piece of information per moment, because "what time is it now?" is the same for everyone.
If everyone has the same frame of reference, you don't get coordinate translation errors.
Going to work on Tuesday and coming home on Wednesday will be the new norm for about a third of the world.
One time I had TomTom accidentally switch itself on in my bag on the floor, set to Homer Simpson's voice and trying to redirect me to home.
As I got further and further away the "turn left here" and "turn right here" directions got more and more frequent, until eventually he just started repeating "turn around where possible" until I was able to find somewhere reasonable to stop and turn it off.
