I dropped my 16 year old son off at the commuter rail station last summer, as he was going to go into Boston and go bowling with his friends. When I got home, I noticed his phone had fallen out of his pocket and was sitting in the passenger seat. I drove back to the train station but he had already gotten on his train. When he got home that evening, it was quite interesting hearing how he had to come up with new solutions to navigate the city and find his friends at the bowling alley, as this was a skill he had never learned or needed with his phone handy. He was quite surprised at the inability and/or unwillingness of people he asked to give him any direction. He did manage to get hold of a tourist map from a Mormon street preacher, which helped after he figured out how to read it, but only listed major streets and so only got him sort of close. He finally managed to get somebody to look the address up on Google maps and he drew in the smaller streets on his paper map.
