So next week I'll be heading up to Chicago for several reasons, one of which will be to go to the Chicago Auto Show!! I'm pretty pumped because they'll be unveiling the 2011 Ford Edge which has the new MyTouch system in it. There are tons of articles on it and even videos on YouTube to show you how it works but a few pictures can be seen in the attached link. http://www.autoblog.com Basically MyTouch has taken out the odometer and other dials and put in two 4 inch LCD screens.
The left screen can be used to see the car maintenance status, the odometer, and those other features that most people driving their car need to see at one time or another but not necessarily all at once.
The right screen can be used to control the entertainment and navigation systems as well as some other fun features on the car. It is color coded to with the main screen that is in the middle of the car so that it's not super distracting while you drive. The point, I am told, is to have the driver have to take his hands off the wheel as little as possible because the screens and their features are controlled by buttons on the steering wheel. I think it looks fabulous but am curious to see how it really works. I will keep you all posted with my discoveries!

I was once told my life was like a tv show. Maybe if I put it out on the internet, someone will see its potential and make me a star...
