Yesterday, I got lost while traveling through the city although I was following google maps for directions. Therefore, I started with the question “why do we need maps ?” and continued with my why questions.
- Why do we use maps?
For navigations purposes - Why do we need to navigate?
To get to a place we want. - Why don’t we just follow our instincts and go?
Because instinct isn’t a reliable source of information. - Why don’t we follow it despite this problem?
Because we we’ll get lost if we do. - Why don’t we want to get lost?
Because getting lost can be dangerous, stressful, or time-consuming. - Why is getting lost dangerous, stressful, or time-consuming?
Because we might encounter hazards, such as wild animals, bad weather, or hostile people. We might also miss deadlines, such as appointments, flights, or meetings. We might also waste resources, such as gas, money, or even energy. - Why can’t we go to place without using any of these resources?
Because we can’t just get to places. We need to make use of different means of transportations. And this requires money and energy. - Why can’t we just use clouds for transportation?
