Why do people still ask for directions in 2019 ?
I mean like, it's 2019, baby, haven't they ever heard of Google Maps ? Siri ? I can't deal with strangers still having to bother me to know where the closest library is at.
Just use your phone to get to there, and everyone has a phone. The same way they keep asking "what time is it". Do these people live in 1987 ?

No, everyone does not have the kind of phone that can give directions. I don't, and neither do several people I know. Sorry we're such a nuisance.

Because of two reason:
1. not every one have smartphone
2. sometimes google directions show long way for shot route.
that's why still people ask for directions

Not everyone has a phone, especially a smart phone. I live in a relatively rural area and there are still plenty of people with flip phones. Also, not every phone gets service everywhere. Phones die. There could be a lot of reasons.

Phones die. Not everyone has reception in every area. That and sometimes it’s a good conversation starter. Also some places aren’t always on Google Maps
