Before there was Google Maps APP which could direct you where ever you want to go with an available smart phone, there was GPS system gadgets that were bought as a separate device (I still have mine). Before those, you would type your current location and desired location on a site called Mapquest.com and print out the directions. But, before even that, when the World Wide Web was only accessible to businesses and computer nerds, people would actually use maps to find their destinations. Crazy thought, right!. Well after some 20+ years, the talent of map reading is lost. Moreover, people rarely need to ask directions from other humans anymore illustrating, yet another, lost need for human interaction that technology created.
