Before smart phones I carried a book everywhere I went and would pull it out at any point I'd generally reach for my phone now. I also got lost driving a lot.
I'd always have a portable CD player or radio and would get to be the navigator during family roadtrips and read from the map book
Hearing people as old as my boomer parents be confused by the amount of physical maps in my car currently is always jarring.
I'm like this but because I use google earth for fun
I think there's no way that's actually true. Google maps helps me arrive somewhere for the first time, but after a small number of times I can drive most places without looking at it. I'll still use it, because "go another route because there is a huge traffic jam following an unannounced pothole filling or car accident" isn't a possible skill to learn. Also Google maps is fucking glitchy, you still need to read signs and know where you are anyways, otherwise you're missing turns 25% of the time.
