At some point a GPS will not work,Be it a bad satellite, bad weather etc etc. We get so acustomed to these mordern conveniences that we forget how to simply navigate life. I bet if you go to a grocery store not one teller will be able to give you the correct change without looking at the cash register first. Modern conviences has even limited our mathematical skills.
Thats has something to do with speed loaders I am sure
I do see your point about loss of certain skills...I will admit that I have become so accustomed to using a calculator that I won't try to balance my checkbook without one, for example. I do think that is a different issue, and I really don't think that using an UpLula will make me forget how to load a magazine without one.

In the interests of harmony, though, I promise that if my GPS ever goes out, I will load my magazines by hand.
