You’d have paid more for basic services like insurance as you couldn’t compare the market.

Computers are a thing. My wife does all that stuff anyway.

You’d have to trust that clever guy in the pub since you couldn’t Google anything.

Striking up a conversation with a stranger a bar sounds like fun, even if they were trying to take the piss out of me. Most people are just hovering over their phones when they go out, theses days.

You’d get lost driving to a new place and have to ask for directions, of course getting the village idiot.

Maps always existed and mapquest was fine.
