Maps... What's the point, we have a phone!

Why maps were created.

Maps were created for many reasons, some refined and some economic. For the most part, it allowed people to understand their environment and eventually hypothesise of a distant land. Cartography shapes how we think about the globe and how we see us in it. In the olden days when they didn't have cell phones, people had to rely on maps to guide them around so they can go to distant lands and do business there or see how modern other countries were and what they could learn from them.

That is why maps were needed and besides [without maps we couldn't have directions on our phones😉].
