Kinda like the kids who only learned to drive with Waze.

When they are stuck without it, they get hopelessly lost. They feel strangled, distracted, and find it hard to focus on the road. For about 3 days. Then they pretty quickly get up to speed, and kinda remember where they used to make the left turns when they had GPS, and everything is dandy.

But it happens so infrequently, that it's really not worth the time thinking about it.

And the truth is, I am just guessing what happens after 3 days - since anyone who grew up with GPS will never be that long without it.
