Empirical evidence gleaned from day-to-day observation (not to mention numerous news reports) suggest that a significant portion of the population is basically clueless about the limitations of this technology. They're also basically addicted to it (as in: a fair number of otherwise intelligent, well-educated people I know apparently can't, to save their own lives, navigate their own neighborhoods with a mapping service -- whereas 5 years ago they may have just been mildly impaired at the task). But if you feel the need to attack someone you'll most likely never see or meet as being "smug" for tangentially pointing out this fact (ironically backed by exultations of your own vastly superior experience in both technology remote environments) -- instead of minding whatever work someone is presumably paying you to be doing at this time, as we speak -- well, do what you need to do, I guess.
