## Helen Mirren: it's so sad Kurt Cobain died before GPS was invented Dame Helen Mirren has paid tribute to musician Kurt Cobain, who died in 1994 at the age of 27, over two decades before the invention of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Dame Helen said she found it "so sad" that Cobain never got to experience the "wonder" and "safety" of GPS, which she described as a "game-changer" in her own life. GPS has become an essential tool for navigation, allowing users to track their location, plan routes, and find destinations quickly. The iconic actress said she often thinks about the "lost souls" who died before the advent of GPS, who "never had the chance to experience the wonders of modern technology." She expressed her hope that the "next generation" would never have to face the same hardships as those who came before them. Despite her praise for GPS, Dame Helen also acknowledged the potential pitfalls of the technology, such as its impact on privacy. She urged users to be "mindful" of the information they share with GPS systems and to take steps to protect their privacy. In her tribute to Cobain, Dame Helen also reflected on the importance of mental health awareness. She said Cobain's death was a "terrible tragedy" and that more needs to be done to help musicians and other people who are struggling with mental health issues. She encouraged people to reach out for help if they are struggling and to remember that "there is always hope." Dame Helen's tribute to Kurt Cobain is a reminder of the impact that GPS and other modern technologies have had on our lives. It is also a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the need to provide support to those who are struggling.
