Do you see getting lost as a adventure?

See I hate the GPS and refuse to use them. From local travel to across county.

I love paper maps and sometimes you get lost. Just like in the old days.

To me getting lost is seeing new things and meeting new people.

Modern technology ruined the simple way of life

Yes.
I do it a lot.
Getting lost needed a positive bent.
Also, it is! Ive seen so many things I never would have had I not been so directionally clueless.

This is why I carry maps in every vehicle and buy a new road Atlas every two years.

Maps may not help, but help me look like I know what I'm doing 🤣🤣🤣
@HumanEarth I love that!!😁 Ive not had a paper map in my car since, well... probably the 90s.

Honesty all jokes aside. The paper map has always been at my side. I never fully trusted digital technology and we still dont have a cellphone either
@HumanEarth As digital tech now creates the printed tech, I don't mind trusting the digital. Does it have flaws? yes. But not understanding it by avoiding it wont change the hurt it will one day bring about, and more so if you dont know what it is truly capable of. So, where I understand your desire to not use it, not knowing its capabilities and frailties is also an issue. I have a father who feels the same way. It's not wrong, but it is very limiting. Plus, I find people who dont use much tech also have some wild ideas about it that are not based in reality. They tend to be easier to manipulate into believing outlandish things, and that worries me for them. Not that they dont trust tech but that in their distrust they are being taken advantage of.

I believe that to

Like if an emp plause hits the earth and wipes all electronics.

Everyone is screwed. We have grown to dependent on digital technology and it can lead us to extinction.
