The nutrients shit was GPS.
There was that sweet time before GPS was commercially real for people but the internet was becoming common where you put locations in mapquest and printed out a sheet of directions.
If you couldn't read a map you were kind of fucked. I didn't get a cell phone until I was a junior in high school. I knew my area VERY VERY well when we were growing up cause you were fuckin lost otherwise and we were always roaming around smoking weed and doing dumb shit.
Some folks I know nowadays who always had GPS have no fucking idea where ANYTHING is or what the name of anything is. People who lived here their entire lives and can't get to the closest town without GPS. Its crazy lol
I started flying as a kid and remember getting mad at the GPS messing with my uptake on map reading in Boy Scouts and driving class. I also remember thinking to myself how grateful I was it’d never leave the cockpit and invade my daily life.
