If you were lucky enough to finish most of your cognitive development before widespread GPS adoption ? Try to use a paper map now as often as you can so that you keep that ability. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The thing is yes, paper maps, but also: You naturally learned how to get around more than people do now. I knew my way around my early neighborhoods where I drove a lot better than I have in the ones where I had GPS all the time.

All three small private colleges around me are in danger (again, still). MBC probation just announced. It will devastate the Valley, its culture, its communities if even one closes. augustafreepress.com/news/mary-ba...
Author leads with Hopkins, but it’s the rest of the list that truly matters. Regional publics and small private colleges. Very bad news. www.insidehighered.com/news/busines...
