And now my parents have tried to pester me into developing a sense of direction.
You’re a transhumanist, get a NorthPaw?
That’s a thing? That’s awesome.
I have a terrible sense of direction, and I did find myself having a lot more peace of mind once I started carrying around a smartphone with MapFactor installed. I went for a wander through a residential development yesterday, which I would never have done if I hadn’t had that GPS with me. (I did happen to find my way out unassisted, but it was a close thing. I would have been scared without the comforting knowledge that I had technology to fall back on if need be.)
Sooner or later I’m eventually going to have to start driving places on my own, and immediately after that I’m going to need one of those smartphone dashboard mounts.
(I reblogged this from Ilzo because I was mostly replying to them and thought they should see it, but I see from thathopeyetlives’s reply {{here}} that their parents would not have taken “okay, just let me ask my phone for directions” as an answer. Sorry to hear that.)
