Fastest Route or Most Beautiful?


In the article ” What If You Could Choose Between the Fastest Route and the Most Beautiful” written by Lex Berko, the author discussed an experiment that may eventually take the form of an app. The app would allow people to chose whether they would take a different route to their destination, if it was an enjoyable experience. The reasoning for this experiment was the idea that”mapping apps are fantastic but are also a little soulless”, which is the sentence the author opened the article with. This claim was then supported by the idea of how quickly the mapping apps gets you from one place to another but along that route it may be an unpleasant experience. The text further discussed the results from a survey that the researchers gave to people that lived in London and discussed the differences between each area they seemed to think was more happy, beautiful or calm. In this article the author had a tone of optimism, because they discussed having hope that in the future there will be something that would allow people to have the opportunity of choosing the most beautiful based on their preference.
