Our "Cylon drills" where we avoid networked computers for a day are a constant learning experience. We rely on smartphones for so much that we forget all the use cases, until we put them away.
Lessons from the last Cylon drill:
* Weather forecast (to choose clothes) - Listened to WHYY until they mentioned the weather at the top of the hour
* Train schedules - Walked to the station to look at the printed schedule posted there, memorized options for the train home (we missed the outbound train)
