Maps!

people are pretty terrible with geography. For example, I remember when I used to tell people I was samoan and people would be like what is that? or oh you mean tongan? or is that part of hawaii? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! anyways. neither has my mom who is a second grade teacher been very good at geography where she didn't know that dominican republic and haiti shared an island or that they were different countries. A MASTER DEGREE and you cant understand that? In a rapidly globalizing world, that is a terrible reality. The best thing to do would be to educate from a young age. I know people put up maps as walls or have globes around to look at. There is now google maps and GPS to help people as well. The thing that I think would be great, is to sync up google earth to one of these bad boys

imagine this home decor was a collection of touch-screens linked to the google earth program to where you could zoom and see photos learning geography? BLOODY BRILLIANT.
