A conversation with a recent high school grad
He graduated this past May.
Yesterday, he was telling me that he had driven to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis / St. Paul) all by himself for the first time, to attend a certain event. It was about an hour and a half drive from here.
Naturally, he used the GPS on his phone to get there. But while there, his phone battery died.
So he was proudly telling me how, when he left, he circled around for a while until he figured out what road to take, how he actually thought about things like "East" and "West", and that he was able to get all the way home without the aid of his phone.
I shook his hand and said, "Welcome to my generation!"
He laughed.
But then I asked him exactly where in the Twin Cities this event had been. He did not know!
After all, he had used his phone to get there. 😏
