Why use other navaids when there is GPS?

Probably a stupid question here... Now that GPS is so precise and can be used in all parts of the world (as far as I know), why do aviators still bother with the radio navaids like VOR and NDB and not just GPS?? And why use IRS instead of GPS directly when the former needs to be corrected by GPS regularly??

Thanks for reply
