I miss the simpler days as well. There are advantages to having everything on a cell phone, but disadvantages as well such as the time I tried to walk off trail in Jasper (haha).
I still have an MP3 player if I want to listen to something on a hike. Battery life is one thing, and no streaming is another.
Try that around here where there’s lots of remote places with no cell coverage. Searches used to be quite uncommon until the smart phone era. Now it’s at least one or more every weekend. Or maybe people are just getting dumber.
