How often do you sit down on the couch with your kids, and a map of almost
anything, just for the hell of it?


When I was bringing up my daughter we used a globe. That makes more
sense to a kid than a map. You can really get some perspective if you
see where things are compared to where you are.
She has a globe now and is doing the same thing with her kids.

I like globes, but using them exclusively might explain the large number of
people who are afraid to drive 5 miles to the next neighborhood because
they're afraid they might "get lost". Lost where? Off the end of the
friggin' earth? Get a map!
