The Internet Is Pretty Cool

I'd be fine without GPS, streaming services, Google, and social media. I would miss email though, and as I'm studying online, I guess the outage would be like one big snow day!

You don't need internet for GPS. In fact, most dedicated GPS devices do not use the internet.

Most good navigation apps like Waze use LTE or 3G which is basically internet.

I know that navigation apps for phones access the internet over the phone's mobile data capabilities in order to download maps and offer additional positional data.

That's got nothing to do with dedicated GPS navigation devices though

Yeah and you don't need the internet to look up a good Thai restaurant since you can use the phone book but nobody has those anymore either.

It would be impossible for me to do my job without the Internet, so it would be very hard for me to go a week without it. But, in my personal life, it would be very easy, if for some reason I wanted to (which I don't).
