Introduction: For many years the only way for people to read books was from a paperback. When books first originated there was not enough technology to have ebooks. Although now that we have ebooks today, still some people rather read an actual materialistic book. The same concept applies with maps. For years people would have to have paper maps in their vehicles to know where to go. Now we have the technology to be able to type an address in our smart phones and it will take us there. I will talk about the pros and cons of each type of book and map. There are many ways also that the two conceptual models are similar and different.
Paperback Vs. Ebook: Paperback books have been around for a long time. The main concept of a paperback book was to be able to put many pages together into one to make a story. The use of ebooks has slowly

Before maps travelers would use the sun to tell the time and direction they are traveling. Although in this paper I am only worried about paper maps and smartphone maps. The main Concept of a paper map would be the ability to follow your trip as you go easily. A map would have every road that is accessible by vehicle, a person would then have to look and memorize their turns, unless they have the map out all the time. The main concept of a smart phone map would be the ability to have a device track your trip for you. A smart phone map will have a line that you can follow and give you step by step instructions on where to go. Therefore, this conceptual model is better than the paper-based map. There are many ways that the paper map and the smart phone map differ. One way is the number of roads that you can view on each. Having a smart phone map, you can look at roads all over the world. With a paper-based map, the number of roads you can see are limited. There are many different paper maps for every area of the world, but it is inconvenient to have to have many
There is no longer a need to be a skilled map reader as GPS can provide directions anywhere to the most unskilled navigators, whether it be to a hospital for emergency treatment or a local point of interest for tourists and finds the shortest route16, making travel easier. GPS can also be used to track others16 which has made it far easier to find missing persons as with GPS becoming prevalent in phones and car, almost anyone can be tracked by one of these items. The impact of GPS on travel is unfathomable, it has made the method of navigation that was used for centuries almost obsolete and opened up the world to
In the article “Do Maps Create or Represent Reality?” written by Laura Herbert as a high school senior on March 2002 is about how maps can tell stories. No map is 100% accurate and is usually only accurate in shape, area, or distance. There are different types of maps and each has its own strong points. Maps are good at representing a place it self, but they don’t define that the place exists. Mapmakers when making maps can each put their own personalization, this is what usually causes them to be different. Even though maps are not completely right, they still influence the way we think about the world. Mapmaker cannot just make up random things they need to have some sort of reality
Amazon and Ebay are two well-known brands of online shopping sites. They have evolved and grown from small firms to the giants of e-commerce today. In this essay, a comparison would be made between the two firms.
BOOKS: Books are in formation written down by people. They can be written down as knowledge or real life stories. The advantages form getting information and writing data from a book is that you will find out a lot of information that you didn’t already know. Also you will extend you knowledge by reading. However, the information may not be accurate and could be false. Another weaknesses form getting information books is that it is also quite time consuming looking for the answers and information when reading a book.
1) Some examles of a primary source document are diaries, manuscripts and letters 2) Political maps show the boundaries and locations of countries, states, cities, towns and counties. Topographic maps show information including roads, elevation, rivers andother water bodies and political boundaries. A cartographic map graphically represents a geographical area, usually on a flat surface and may involve political, cultural, or other nongeographical divisions of a geographical area. 3) A nomad is a member of a group that has no permanent home, wandering from place to place in search of food and water. 4) The key discovery of the Neolithic Revolution is agriculture andthe domestication of animals. This was beneficial becasue it allowed nomads to not
Answer: I don’t think e-book will phase out the conventional print book because people often say that print book era has been dead where everything can be finding in eBook and other resources. I too agree with that everything should be in DVD’s, cd’s, usbport etc. but e-Book will help to increase the selling of book. for example if I write down the story by chapter wise every day in eBook after the completation of the book in I can publish the book where I can redesigned the book and I can get the buyer attracted and people will also love the book where it has the version of e-book.
The conflicts met between the Civil Rights Movement protesters and the white people of the South were incredibly gruesome. While peace and equality for African Americans was the driving force of the protests, violence and inhuman resistance was the force for the white people. In the March Trilogy Books, written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, and in the movie Selma, written by Paul Webb and directed by Ava DuVernay, we are given a glimpse of these troubling times during the 1960’s. The tone was very dark, harsh, and violent. Because voting rights and equality were important to them, the mass of marchers continued their protests despite the beatings and cruelty they faced. Although there were horrendous acts made against the African
Instead of maps we use navigation systems, which tell us where to go and what the
4. List three examples of things a map can show. Answer: A map can show you a legend or a key to explain to you what the different symbols mean like (roads, highways, railroads building and more things that are man-made) The second example is that the map can show you a compass rose and that will indicate directions, it will show the North, South, West, and East. Third example is Line symbols and that can show like boundary lines, roads, streets, or routes of trade and transportation.
Imagine a day when youngsters would leave for school carrying nothing more than an electronic device weighing less than one pound. The advent and growing popularity of electronic textbooks may make this a reality sooner rather than later. No more students trudging around with 20 pound backpacks strapped to their backs. No more lockers jammed with textbooks and notebooks. The benefits of transitioning to e-textbooks are many and provide advantages for both students and educators.
Teachers are always assigning homework in the textbook and of course every student complains. Not only because they have homework, but because they have to lug home multiple textbooks. Many school districts have been trying to find a way to solve this complaint. What school board officials have come up with is replacing the textbooks with notebook computers or tablets. It is the 21st century, there is technology booming everywhere. However, converting the notebook computers might not be the greatest decision.
And books are a tactile experience, meaning they are supposed to be experienced through touch and smell (especially for the old books). A book is meant to be an experience that can have depressions and elevations on the cover and text, feeling the weight of the pages as you turn them and all of these elements when combined make a book what it is, but when you read an e-book you are exposed to digitized text and a screen. And it’s been proven that when people are exposed to screens of TVs or computers they are less likely to have a good night sleep. On a web poll about e-books vs. books one person commented, ‘I've tried reading a few e-books but I've always given up. I just don't like looking at digitized text when I'm reading a novel. I like the feel, the weight and even the smell of books,’ many of the following comments made by others agreed with this persons thoughts.
Maps are summarized real word for particular purposes and humans read maps to make a decision in real world. The position of map reader is essential for finding relevant information through the map. Therefore, the map reader position was explicitly indicated in the
“Ripe for digital destruction,” (A Textbook) were words of the late Steve Jobs referring to the enormous potential for the textbooks industry. He believed the textbook market to be worth an estimated 8 billion dollars in the U.S. alone. His vision was to lessen the burden of carrying heavy textbooks around, while also offering them as a free feature with the iPad. He wanted to change the culture of textbooks forever.
During the development of technology, most people have shifted to use electronic books to read both academic and non-academic texts. However, despite the technological changes, there has been a wide debate about the benefits of paper books over the e-books. It is important to understand that various reasons are suggesting why people should shift back to using the traditional books rather than the electronic ones. Even though some think that e-books are better that traditional ones, I believe that readers should return to traditional books because of various reasons.
