Unit 1 Mod 2 Discussion

Q Thinking back on what you just learned in this module (including the lecture notes, videos, and quiz), write a 3 sentence (minimum) discussion post in your best college level writing. You can 1) ask a detailed follow up question, 2) make a detailed comment and/or 3) make a detailed connection to something else you have learned or experienced in your life (e.g. while camping, hiking, traveling, etc). This assignment is purposely broad to give you many options to reflect on your learning. Be sure to explain yourself and your thinking; if you say something is interesting (or cool, or odd, etc), be specific about why you think this way! PLEASE NOTE THAT SIMPLY RESTATING A FEW THINGS YOU LEARNED IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. You are also required to read other students’ comments and respond (respectfully) to at least one. Your response does NOT have to be as detailed as described above. NOTE: This is not a text or chat room. Please write in full sentences and follow standard rules of spelling, capitalization, and grammar to the best of your ability.

After viewing the videos for this module, I didn’t have a question, but more of an observation to think about. The use of longitude and latitude, as well as the development of global time zones, daylight savings time, and the international dateline have all become pretty standard in our world now. As we use them now they have become more simplified for us, simply by already existing thanks to the work of professionals hundreds of years ago. Throughout the videos, I kept wondering about how difficult it must’ve been when actually have to develop the concepts.
