We learned that compasses are used to improve the oceans
navigation that people are trying to find there point. The compasses were
invented in the Middle Ages. We learned how to use the map to find the
exact point that we had to find but then we used the compass to find the rest.
Back in the day they used the North star to find their way around before the
compass was invented. The compass wouldn't of worked really well if they didn't
have two points to go to. The compass would actually find the way of how they
would help the map to find the exact way to go. They used the map and the
satellite to find the way when the compasses aren't invented. They use the
chronometer to find the exact time of the longitude of the ship while sailing
away. The first one was invented in 1761 by John Harrison but it wasn't until
the year after that they actually made it work to use the latitude and
longitude. They compasses, maps and the chronometer are very helpful in this
time to know where we are going. The modern technology is used fill but I still
know people that are using the compass to find their way. It would of helped if we used a map to find
the cards because they hid them in spots that we couldn't find or we didn't know
where they were. This technology is modern but people still like to use the technology
from the past to find their way. They do it because they think not all modern
technology is good because it may not always work. They also want to teach
their kids what they used in the past so they can tell their friends or their
kids what they learned from their parents. No matter what, technology changing
is helpful but still using the compass and chronometer is helpful.
