I generally agree with you but paper maps really were horrible for this of us who have no sense of direction (despite trying for years). I remember multiple times trying to go somewhere, getting horribly lost (in one case I was within half a mile of the house I was trying to find the whole time but couldn't find it for an hour), and giving up and going home. The day I bought a TomTom (GPS that you could use without telling Google where you were going -imagine that!) was lifechanging. But GPS is kind of an interesting one because it's not actually the internet. And it can be used without any loss of privacy.
