Where are You?
"Where are you?" a disembodied voice asks.
"Ummm... I'm right here?" you say.
"No seriously. Where are you?"
"Over here."
"Over where?"
You sigh loudly. "I'm three steps away from the 100-centimeter LCD TV. "
CONGRATULATIONS! You have given the disembodied voice a reference point. A point with which one can refer your position. Albeit, it was a little sloppy.
"Sloppy?" you say.
"Yeah, sloppy."
"How was I sloppy?"
"You're three steps away from the 100-centimeter LCD TV. But in which direction?"
"What do I look like? A human compass?"
"Don't you know your directions? Can't you look at the position of the sun in the sky and figure it out?"
You blankly stare at the disembodied voice.
The disembodied voice frowns. "You do know in what direction the sun rises, don't you?"
You blankly stare at the disembodied voice.
"Well, my third grade teacher tried to teach me that, but I sneered at them and told 'em that I didn't see any time in my life where I would actually need to know such pointless information? Then I turned around and gave a high-five to my buddy Butch."
The disembodied voice shakes their head. "So you didn't see a point in knowing how to describe your point in comparison to a pretty ubiquitous reference point?"
You shrug.
The disembodied voice sighs.
