CRITICAL THINKING Based on the Reading and your own ideas, discuss the following topics.

1 Why do you think airlines overbook flights?

The airlines reserve flights due to the large number of passengers who do not show up, as it should be so, they optimize their flights more, they do it in a more organized way and the reservation is made to reduce certain problems or situations that may arise with the tickets and the airline.

2 Are there some advantages of getting bumped from a flight? What are they?

Some of the advantages of a passenger being expelled from the flight is that the airlines should offer these passengers other free flights, hotels, food, among other benefits, and even many times some people do it voluntarily to obtain these benefits.

3 What are some advantages of GPS systems? What are some disadvantages?

The advantages of the GPS system are:

 1. allows you to go to a certain place without knowing how to get there.

 2. Contains an Anti-theft System: GPS incorporated into a device guarantees its location in case of loss or theft.

 3. Speaker: thanks to its built-in speaker you can speak and indicate where we have to go to get to the right place.

The disadvantages of this may be that it is always necessary to always have the GPS updated to avoid problems with new roundabouts, closed streets, road works, etc. It may spend electricity, if it is not updated, I can direct it to where it is not.

4 Do you prefer GPS systems, online maps with instructions, or paper maps?xplain.

I prefer the GPS because it is faster, easier, without complications, I just have to keep it up to date, it shows me the shortest, fastest and calmest route, it also allows me to identify where the car is if it gets lost or if something happens, it's more accessible, more comfortable and without complexes.
