I remember, when I was younger, printing out MapQuest bike instructions, following them, and getting lost trying to find the next street -- and then feeling incredible when I finally found it. When GPS became so commonplace you could use it on any phone, I realized that the feeling of suddenly realizing where you were was gone forever. Of course you can only feel euphoric about finding a street if you felt at least equally despondent that you couldn't find it, so it's probably a worthwhile tradeoff. I feel somewhat similarly about Spotify. Yes, some things are lost, but you can't honestly tell me you think it was better before, right?
