Do people even use old fashioned paper maps anymore? These days they’d be collecting huge layers of dust if they weren’t stored away safely in the glove compartment. But the price of protection is to be obsolete. Instead of folding out maps and squinting with frustration at the dots and lines, we’re yelling at the GPS that told us to make that exit too late. GPS is a fairly recent development, getting its start in the mid 90s and while it hasn’t achieved ubiquitous status, it’s become more widespread by the year, maybe even by the month or day. And it’s not just cars that are equipped with GPS portable navigation; even cell phones these days have their own global positioning system.
