And not just a balance, but using them in parallel or even simultaneously is, for me, where the sweet spot is.

Exactly.

For example: I found a great bar to watch a Cal game last spring, sans "smart" device. Well, or the device I used was my own "smart device," once known as the sixth sense. Inexact, random, and often perfect. I could've punched in some coordinates on an iPhone and been shown my bar options. This form of guidance did cross my mind. On the other hand, I like letting--luck, Providence, kismet, fate, fill-in-the-blank--dictate. It's more fun because it's risky.

Can we strike a balance? Both methods have their merits, yet I fear the ancient method will suffer. Developing the sixth sense is key! Use the FORCE, Luke!

So true, I wonder if it necessarily has to be like that, losing quality experiences and things to gain others, or if it's laziness on our part?

I mean, in this case, I can still wander and happen upon a cool eatery, but at other times I can locate it precisely.

Reviewing. It's an art. Fascinating how in the ubiquity of web words and the culture of free, we move at once away and directly toward better quality.
