If you don't, you should, then get a regular GPS to find your way around if you need navigation

i understand how phones in Faraday bags is good for privacy.

i don't really see the connection to autism. other than reducing the quantity/frequency of unproductive social interactions and social media interruptions, and general level of stimuli.

i also sense that the meme pic is ironic/sarcastic, but not sure how. at first glance it suggests to me that although life without smartphones /socialmedia is ostensibly more "human" as in face-to-face interactions, that life also has the potential for mob mentality and mass panic induced massacres.

How would I get calls and texts? Putting it in a faraday cage isn't going to stop just the GPS.

Have you considered just not bringing your phone? Honest question.

it would be an option if you don't have faraday bag, although depends on the purpose

I have faraday bag but never used it. I would use it when meeting with some important people to hide the evidence that I was meeting them or when I want to hide my travel route. The bag is useful for political activists and journalists
