new generations of doubt - pabrides - 06-16-2018
The other day I mentioned to my students that before the advent of phones, internet, electronic computers, gps, PACMAN, airplanes, automobiles, household electricity, indoor plumbing, and disposable diapers there was a way for travelers to mark their location on the globe by using celestial navigation techniques - which i explained in the simplest of terms.... The students paid polite attention and only wrinkled their noses at the bigger words, but I dont think they believed me.

Joe,
All of what you said was true. No indoor plumbing but you sure could find where you are anywhere on the globe!
They'll believe you when their batteries are not replaceable!
