Epilogue: What have you had to “unlearn” (i.e. that only phones are for having conversations) in the past 10 years due to technological change?
I think the idea that you have to have a map to get from one place to another. Now, with GPS and sites like MapQuest (mapquest.com), you can find written directions for exactly how to get from point a to point b. You no longer need to have a city map or even a state map to find your way around. It is the norm now to mapquest where you're going and find step-by-step instructions or to punch your destination into a GPS and have it guide you there. The idea of following a visual map now seems outdated.

When I had meetings in unknown places, I used to print a map out the night before using Mapquest then Google Maps. Now, I hop in my car and plug in the address. Teleporting would still be nice.
