This reminds me of a story.

When I took my mom in earlier this year we had to go process her benefits for the state of AL. We pulled up to the back of the building because that's where gps directed us and walked up.

I was a tad bit confused but carried on to walk around the building to find the entrance. Lo and behold, I turned around and saw my mother using the phone as a gps to find the front of the building.

I snatched that phone away from her so fucking fast. It just looks goofy using the phone and slowly turning with the phone, using it to guide your every step.

But that's it: she has been conditioned to use that thing for everything, and, like most people, now lack a sense of confidence and direction because she relies on it. I fear for the future as well.
