I'm old enough to remember the first house phone we got. and we were the last to get one on our street. It was hard wired into the hall, and had a 25 foot cord on it so we could drag it into our bedrooms. But that was high tech, our neighbors had wall mounted phones that you had to crank to get powered up.

In defence of sat nav, I find that I'm a safer rider with it, because I can focus on the ride and the traffic, without having to watch out for this turn or that exit. I'm also more inclined to go off the beaten track and explore, knowing that I can find my way back, and how long it will take to go the road less travelled. Admittedly, I'm kind of uptight about time-keeping, and the army made me obsessive about knowing where I am. Not quite a free spirit, even on the bike!

Fair point, if a person is dumb enough to mess with it while on the move. Sensible folk will do that when we stop - just like with a paper map. I've seen idiots on the highway examining their map while riding, holding it down on the tank. Stupid whether old or new tech, IMHO.
