1. The article is basically saying that people depend on technology to find their ways, like GPS. Therefore, people do not develop the mental maps anymore because the GPS is helping us to find our ways. However, the article suggests that people should use mental map to let the brain live up to its abilities.

2. My reaction was people actually losing their skills when they take shortcuts by using GPS instead of old -fashioned maps. Also, using mental map can help our brain to process the thinking. People rely on technology too much which makes them become lazy and losing abilities that they originally have.

3. This article is related to our class because in world history we have talked about how technology or science have became powerful and how it influenced the history. GPS is one of the interventions that makes our lives more easier but it also has negative impact on people.
