Cutting Cookies

After reading an article from Read Write Web titled "Cutting Cookies"  it is amazing that we have the capabilities of now putting the computer system on the dash instead of the engine compartment.  With this new system you are able to access directions, temperatute controls, and audio.  Ford Motor Company is creating these wonderful uses of technology within their vehicles in hopes that they are helping customers to personalize their products.  They are focused on identifiying and incorporating appropriate apps for the driver.  It willl be interesting to see what they will be coming out with in the next few years.  The more high tech the vehicle becomes though, will people be able to afford them?  Also, if it breaks it will not be a cheap fix, so will it really be worth the cost in the long run?
