Wow I had no idea about all these alternative technologies! Another great entry from The Elysian, and one I think about constantly. What is the ideal device in terms of practicality and non life-stealing addictive properties in today's world? This has inspired me to review all the notifications I receive. I'll probably find they're almost all useless.
For me, even tho it's one of the phones more practical uses, I desperately want to live without GPS and google maps. I'm convinced it's ruined my ability to navigate even to places I've been before without it, and I feel so stupid and vulnerable turning back and forth on the street until I know which way the satellite says I should go. Maybe I should be printing out MapQuest directions lol
