Years ago, getting somewhere unfamiliar required a map, road signs and perhaps stopping to ask someone for directions.
Now, you follow a blue line on your phone.
Much better.
But something else happened. We became very good at arriving and increasingly bad at knowing where we are.
Convenience does this.
Online shopping removes the journey to the shop. Food delivery removes waiting. Self-checkout removes a person. Algorithms remove the need to search.
Most of this is progress. I certainly don't want to unfold a giant road map at a traffic light again.
But every convenience removes some friction and occasionally something valuable disappears with it. Knowledge. Discovery. Conversation. Awareness.
The question isn't whether convenience is good.
It is what else leaves when the inconvenience goes.
What disappeared?
