[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No kid knows how to read a map. I get that phone apps give road directions, but North/South/East/West - no clue. [/quote] I was pleasantly surprised when my 15yo competently took over map duty on our recent hiking trip. Guess all those years of Girl Scout camp paid off! I feel like she’d manage OK without Google Maps, assuming a paper map could even be found anywhere these days. I will say, though, that it was an embarrassingly short time ago that we had to explain what a dial tone was. She’d only used cell phones to make phone calls, because even though we have a house phone we literally never use it. Its only real function is for the alarm system. She picked it up one day and said, “Why is this phone making a funny noise?”[/quote]
