How Maps and Navigation Spurred Technological Revolutions

Maps and navigation are like the superpowers that helped people explore the world. Imagine you're on a boat in the middle of the ocean, without maps, it would be like trying to find your way through a dark room with no lights! Early sailors used stars and simple tools to figure out where they were going. Over time, these ideas led to better maps, which helped people travel farther and discover new places.
