I'm on the same side as you two, but growing up in a rural, lower-middle family, the only presence those devices ever had in our home was via commercials.

We did have MapQuest though. The shift from requiring a navigator to thumb through printed web pages to being able to navigate oneself via phone was pretty... well, life-changing, really. I say this as someone completely geared to delete their Google account, sans a few deeply-entrenched services I'm having trouble uprooting - Google Maps being one.
