Noted in “Connecting with nature is good, but can apps help us do it better?“, Richard Webb, NewScientist (28 August 2021):
I’m lost. Against my better judgement, I’m using a trail app to guide me on a run along the north Devon coast that probably should have been against my better judgement, too. This is supposed to be a holiday.
This gorse thicket came as a surprise. According to my plant identification app, there have been various campions – sea, red and bladder – all the way up the hill. And goldfinches, says the birdsong app. I can’t help thinking that the multiple distractions is why my phone now seems to know where I am, but I don’t.
