I'm in the process of cleaning out the boxes/tubs/random crap in the garage. I've found at least 5 mapquest printouts from places I needed to go. Remember when mapquest was the shiznit? And if the directions were quite long, figuring out where in the drive to flip to the next page? Printed from netscape of course.I use GPS for even the shortest & most common of trips. it keeps the BigHair from asking "why are you going this way?"
well... it doesn't exactly keep her from asking, it does keep me from having to answer.
It absolutely fractures me how much technology has progressed in just the time I've considered myself to be an adult. Dick Tracy's two-way TV watch was considered way out of possibility back in the 70s when I read the comic strip in the old Seattle Times; now I have to tell my smartwatch to STFU at least once a day when it tells me I need to get up and move. And that same smartwatch has about kajillion more computing power than any home PC we had in the 90s. Damn.
