Some people doesn’t know how to use an electronic device and it can be hard for them to learn.
Relation to Text: In the first article I read talks about how Atlas people interact with map on the internet. It relate to the text because the article uses some of the term we discuss in class. For example, the article uses the word Geographic Information System (GIS). Some Atlas people will think Geographic Information System is hard, but term is really easy to understand. For example, Geographic Information System are libraries of information that use maps to organize, store, view, and analyze information in an intuitive, visual manner (Physical Geography, Darrel Hess, ch. 2, pg 46). When people use GIS, it will let them know you where things are. When people interact with Google map, it will tell you the direction to places where you want to go. Global positioning system, or simply GPS, is a global navigation satellite system for determining accurate positions on or near Earth’s surface. (Physical Geography, Darrel Hess, ch. 2 pg. 37). This is way that the
