You can remember "123 Easy Street", but a GPS (old-school, not phone) needs "N 35.233/W 106.112".
(I have no idea where I just put Easy Street... I think that's somewhere in SW USA. LOL)
If GPS is above their heads (likely generational), DNS is a phone book - name to phone number. You can't call "John Smith", but you can look him up and call 555-1234.
