Maps and Phone Books are Obsolete

28
April

Happened to glance at the bookcase in the spare bedroom and see all the books that I own but never seem to read after the first time. why did I buy all these books? I should have used the library!

There are a stack of phone books on the bottom shelf. I might as well throw those away. Who uses phone books for anything anymore? Not me! I can find it online faster and easier without having to heft a big cumbersome book and search through thousands of pages and other listings.

Maps are also pretty much obsolete. If you don’t have a GPS for your car, you probably have a mapping and location program or app on your smart phone. Who needs maps anymore? They are obsolete, too.

GPS Helped

October

Most of the time I need to go someplace locally that I already know both where it is and how to get there. But now thee are some parts of town that are new and I’ve not had the need to go over there yet. That’s when a GPS can come in handy. It’s not that I can’t ask for directions, but with a GPS I should not have to ask.
