An old axiom says that in order to know where you are going, you first have to know where you are. To
that, add that you should know which way you are facing. Makers of wireless handsets, proving the old
axiom true, have already installed Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, and are now poised to
flood the market with phones containing tiny electronic compasses that allow the gadget to sense exactly
what direction it’s facing.
What is known about the makers of wireless handsets?

Recently, I was looking for something online, or probably browsing aimlessly, when I happened on a
name I hadn’t thought of since I was a child: Alfred P. Morgan. Someone had uploaded a digitized
version of The Boy Electrician. I was instantly swept back more than half a century to my local library. In
my mind I saw the familiar metal shelving and the blue-gray binding of my favorite book, also written –
and illustrated – by Morgan: The Boys’ First Book of Radio and Electronics.
Which of the following expressions is a synonym for ‘aimlessly’ on the first line of the text?
