Yeah, I'm sure they're willing to go without GNSS, mobile phones,
Internet and all this new-fangled stuff.

In fact, I'm quite sure they would be perfectly happy with only
old-fangled stuff, and they're cursing everytime they see a fangler[1].

Ignorance is never good policy.

[1] If something can be "new-fangled" then obviously somebody "fangled"
it, and that person must by necessity be a "fangler".
