Paper GPS

Did Columbus rock a Garmin? Did Marco Polo Mapquest his way to Cathay? Did Magellan use a … Magellan? No, these men were pioneers who found their way using instinct, courage, and something called a sextant. Modern man relies too much on computerized map systems anyway. Add the analog touch with a paper GPS. Ok, so it’s just a notepad made to look like Internet directions, but the day that we surrender our ass backwards shortcuts and illegal detours is the day the machines have taken over.
