OK.
As a "joe pilot" I have had experience of both AVAD and EGPWS both offshore and on shore.
I also remember that Aberdeen and Sumburgh bases sent messages to each other by telex - I'll bet it's by e-mail now. Likewise the brick-sized first mobile phone I had - you could easily say the modern ones are more of a nuisance because you can't remember which pocket it's in!!
The whole point is that you can pretend that you're King Canute and watch the tide coming in or you can embrace the technology and use it to your advantage as another help to you getting home to your family after a challenging day's flying.
