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

    They ask because they are lost in technology.

    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

    Some people don't trust Technoloy. They still need the human element.
