Dear Monty: At some point in the next few years, we will sell our home. We have been here 25 years and raised our kids here. My wife and I have resisted modern technology. We get along fine with paper road maps. I have an old flip phone, but my work is outdoors, and my hobbies are hunting, fishing and collecting rocks. My family, friends and co-workers poke fun at me. My brother, a few years younger, warned me that if I don’t get with the program, I could be at a disadvantage when we sell our home, relocate and buy again. Is he right?

Road map sales are increasing, and many people believe they are better than digital maps. Some people may envy you. Here are nine reasons why many people who have embraced the same technology you avoid did so.
