Talking about supercomputers in your pocket... am I the only one who finds extremely funny when people ask for directions with their smartphone in their hand? Or ask for anything that can be easily solved by just using the device they're already holding? In the past I used to send "Let Me Google That For You" links, but I think I need a "Just use your smartphone!" T-shit or something. :P
Edit: while I find the situation funny, I want to clarify that I never mock people, or be rude to them. I try to go out of my way to help them, since you never know why they don't do the obvious thing.
Some people just cant navigate, not much help in google if you don't understand what direction it is telling you to go.
Plus maps aren't always accurate about address locations. So I think it can really depend on exactly the type of direction someone is asking for.
That said, please put a number on your house if you don't already have one.
