I memorize important numbers

I don't use GPS after the first time going to a place and remember my routes

Facebook? what... ? people actually use that?

I won't use AI..my information stays with me, in my mind when I need it. I can't rely on others, I won't rely on computers to be there when I need it and that most certainly applies to ai

I'm probably older than both of you. I use gps constantly even when I know the route. It's safer to focus on the road than think about the route.

People didn't use to memorize numbers. They used little private address books that you wrote your numbers in. Moving that text to a computer screen changed nothing for the majority of people.

I don't use Facebook but I didn't use Myspace either.

I don't use AI but I have nothing against it. I used it once to write some code in VBscript which is a language that would be a complete waste of time to learn. It saved dozens of hours.

Ha I learned VBBasic back in the day self taught. I wrote thousands of lines of code. Then I learnt about loops :)
