This is not to say that I never use GPS systems, but I try to minimize my use — using them only when absolutely necessary — because becoming dependent on them causes the parts of your brain that do that work to atrophy. Literally.

Whoops, never thought of that before! Like, I know using AI to write makes me a worse writer, but using GPS directions in Google Maps also makes me worse at navigating? It makes sense in retrospect. And with the GPS I never have to develop the skills to navigate in the first place. Yikes!
