People also only used to stay in their villages or neighbourhood and don't travel as much as they do these days.
It's a different world and just because we got by with sailing the oceans and using star navigation doesn't mean we can't use modern technology to improve our lives.
- Qwertystop 7y agoYou've skipped a rather large period of time in which people would travel, and would bring a map with them or buy one when they got there. You think road trips only got to be a thing after Mapquest?
- dewey 7y agoIt was obviously an exaggeration but maps are just an iterative improvement until we landed (for now) GPS enabled devices, in the future we'll maybe have it embedded in our glasses, eyes or brain. I didn't say that we could only start traveling or doing road trips once we invented smartphones.
- Qwertystop 7y agoGPS-enabled devices are the first such improvement to have a novel downside: you can now be tracked, whether you want to be or not.
