Yes...when the nukes go off and fry our tech toys....I pray to be at ground zero. Have no desire to live without my tech.
And yes...there are always stupid people. They existed before tech too. Some of them write posts  |
Even a smartphone may not have helped since some of those maps are a year behind.
Is mom ok?
