To think how we used to work out detailed instructions from maps oriented north to get to where we need to go and now these apps are flipping orientation around and I have no idea which direction to go - driving while hunting for the setting to north. Uber has twice convinced me to cross busy streets erroneously and then I have to jaywalk thru traffic to get back. Remember the first time as a kid when you'd been driven everywhere and you're told to walk to school the first time? Unless you'd been paying attention at 8 or 9, you had no idea how to get there. I can't imagine what life would be like if I hadn't visited most metropolitan areas before the smartphone.
