** Actually, [=MapQuest=] still exists, though it's ''extremely'' unpopular. The Wikipedia article even outright states that people began shifting to Google Maps and similar services around 2008. What else began skyrocketing in popularity that Gayle doesn't understand? Social media, touch-based devices such as the iPhone and iPod Touch, and streaming services. Gayle demonstrates in earlier episodes that she's still dependent on [=DVDs=], still imagines KidPix to be relevant enough to have lying around the house, and only lets Dave have a flip phone. Her technological understanding stagnated at a very specific point.

* After Terry finds out that Gayle uses dog shampoo, Gayle becomes irrationally convinced she's told Bonnie and nearly enacts her contingency plan in such an event: [[StartingANewLife to move to Tallahassee and change her name to "Peggy."]] The unseen [[TheGhost Peggy Gausmann]] is a constant ButtMonkey, so it makes sense that Gayle associates that name with humiliation.

* The use of Music/KateBush's "Running Up That Hill" to underscore Gayle's HeroicBSOD reaction to [[SeriousBusiness Bonnie getting an iPad]]. The speaker of the song addresses a person with whom she wishes to magically "swap ... places." Cf. Gayle's rant:

* In ‘Code Bega’, Gayle ruins her luncheon by scream-asking ‘what’s an iPad’, amongst other things that show her technological ineptitude. Prior to this, she goes on a monologue relating to how a neighbor goes by Christopher instead of Chris. In this, she makes an analogy referring to Mapquest, a defunct 1990s map site, further showing how out of touch she is technologically.
