A world where GPS stops working is into some serious shit, I guess you are also training your hunting and fighting skills, otherwise you'll be screwed anyway.

- toomanybeersies 5y ago> I guess you are also training your hunting and fighting skills I haven't been in a fight in close to a decade, but it's not uncommon that I have to get somewhere and don't have access to GPS or Google Maps. It's more than just a redundant skill. There's evidence to suggest that our reliance on GPS has a negative effect on our hippocampus, in particular our spatial memory. I have a gut feeling the effect is more wide ranging than we'd think; spatial navigation is a problem solving exercise, involving a whole bunch of different mental processes.
