Again, I’m not saying that using the apps are stupid. Problem is, people can’t read the Apple or Google Map unless it has arrows and blurts out when to turn.

How in the frick does someone have access to a map on their phone, and still frick up where they are? I use Apple/Google all the time. But when I’m in the sticks of Texas, I’ll zoom out and look at what town I hit next. Hell, just have some spatial awareness. There’s signs on roads constantly telling you if you are headed on a north or south route, they’re numbered, and mileage signs are aplenty.

I’d like to think most people on here can get in their car and go from one major city to the next on an interstate without trouble, but these younger cats are clueless.
