"You are lucky there is Waze and Google Maps now to help you navigate when driving," I told my children and their cousins one brunch gathering. But there were also benefits of not having one. During the Stone Age -when too many in our generation were stoned, we, out of necessity of avoiding traffic and traffic police alike, took left and right turns exploring unknown areas and streets to get to our destination easier, faster, safer, and more importantly, still smelling fresh. And in so doing, discovered places of interest like stores that sell this and restaurants that serve that and neighborhoods to keep away from.

New techs are both a bane and a boon, you must agree. GPS, for example, is a bane to husbands and a boon to wives, or vice-versa -depending on the need and usage. And oh, don’t get me started on the health benefits and hazards of IP cameras.

"Smile, you’re on candid camera." Oops, is that even legal now?

Here’s to technology, cheers! #MyCafeNotes
