I memorize important numbers
I don't use GPS after the first time going to a place and remember my routes
Facebook? what... ? people actually use that?
I won't use AI..my information stays with me, in my mind when I need it. I can't rely on others, I won't rely on computers to be there when I need it and that most certainly applies to ai
I remember the routes, too, but you don’t have random road congestion or construction that sometimes necessitates alternative routes? It’s like having a psychic friend that tells you when the most direct route is fucked.
sure, but east is still easy. I don't mind heavy traffic, or needing detours. I'm patient and hardly even in a rush. if I'm late for something, meh..
In my community, it seems the local, state, federal government and local utilities are all competing to shut down as much of roads as possible, so there’s always a bunch of weird diversions to traffic. An unfortunate side-effect of underinvestment in infrastructure until the need is absolutely dire.
Because the crews don’t get much work done in the winter, they tend to concentrate all their work on warmer months, which exacerbates the issue.
You are old school. As am I
I'm exactly like that, and 20 y/o. Though my body feels like 80.
It's because of the burden of knowledge you're carrying in your head. The choices you make...
I'm probably older than both of you. I use gps constantly even when I know the route. It's safer to focus on the road than think about the route.
People didn't use to memorize numbers. They used little private address books that you wrote your numbers in. Moving that text to a computer screen changed nothing for the majority of people.
I don't use Facebook but I didn't use Myspace either.
I don't use AI but I have nothing against it. I used it once to write some code in VBscript which is a language that would be a complete waste of time to learn. It saved dozens of hours.
Ha I learned VBBasic back in the day self taught. I wrote thousands of lines of code. Then I learnt about loops :)
I let my Phone (and CarPlay) map my route for me; but I do like throwing a spanner in its workings by deliberately taking a wrong turn to explore.
Previously, I would do the same, but then I would have to pull over and spend 15 minutes browsing the Street Directly trying to figure out where I was before I was able to continue my journey.
Having a frictionless (and relatively) safe way of exploring has empowered me.
