Maps
Can you imagine our life (0) without maps? We rely them for getting around unfamiliar places or even for getting to those places in the first place. However, we tend to their availability for granted. But it was not relatively recently that maps became available to the general public. Go back a few hundred years and they were difficult to obtain, their usefulness. Many maps were treated like secret documents, because they showed how to get to profitable foreign markets or because they contained confidential government information. When Francis Drake circumnavigated the world in 1580, the map of his route to the treasures of the Americas was declared a state secret by Elizabeth I.
Today, in large part to the rapid expansion of travel and tourism, we can buy them at any petrol station or even get them for free at tourist offices. Moreover, technological advancements have resulted a level of detail and accuracy in maps that was unimaginable a century ago. And the GPS (Global Positioning System) places you at the very centre of the map: it can work your position on earth to within 5 m . And your iPhone map will not only tell you where to go but what to see and where to eat when you get there.
