“AI would do far more cognitive damage because you would hardly have to think at all.”

Yep, I agree. Look at what happened with GPS. Now we have a generation who will not even start their car if their GPS is not working.

Or know how to use a map, if they had one....

In the interest of full disclosure I must admit that I was pretty good at getting lost long before GPS showed up. 🤡

A few summers ago, I drove across the states to visit my son and future
daughter-in-law. On learning I had a rand mcnally road map of the continental United States,
my future daughter-in-law asked me why I needed a paper map when a
factory installed gps was built into my auto.

I tried to explain the usefulness of seeing the big picture but I think it went
over her head.

And would not be able to use a paper map any more than they could a rotary phone.

I had a boyfriend and we’d go out GeoCaching. He struggled quite a bit with the directional cues. Now with full GPS it isn’t much fun.
