RE: Extinct?

I remember for my roadtrips back to Ohio in the 90's and early 2000's I used something called a TripTik. If you didn't have a navigator you had to flip the pages as you drove. I so much prefer modern navigation but am a little afraid what we'll do if something happens to the satellites and we lose GPS. Today's modern world would grind to a halt. So many of the things we grew up with have gone extinct. I miss relaxing on a Sunday morning with coffee and the newspaper. I've tried reading the newspaper in the last few years and it isn't the same. The news is already 24+ hours old by the time you get the paper and the newspapers have shrunk down to about 10% of the size they use to be.

I also miss coffee with the Sunday papers, but COVID stopped that habit. Papers are back but as you say the online news is instantaneous!
A friend actually got lost one night during a storm because her signal went, but I think they've improved that, it was a long time ago.
I don't think we had TripTik, and the link isn't allowing me in because I'm outside US, weird🤷‍♀️
I can't travel to unknown places without my navigator! But still miss the maps.
