“I use paper maps when hiking, which seems to surprise some people. I find that GPS displays are limiting when you want to ’feel’ the entire terrain of a place.” "Especially in cars! I feel like it’s safer to have car radios with buttons instead of screens. It’s easier for me to push a button to change the music while keeping my eyes on the road; I can’t do that if my car has a screen. It increases distracted driving incidents." "I got a 'how cute' comment about my iPod Nano from my nephew's wife. Sorry for not wanting to run down my phone battery listening to podcasts. I didn't think it was all that weird, but apparently I might as well be lugging a manual typewriter around." Note: Responses have been edited for length/clarity.
