When Maps Lost Their Blank Spaces
#innovation/frontier
Until the early 20th century, unexplored territories beckoned adventurers to become explorers. However, as National Geographic's photography revealed even the most remote corners of the Earth, the era of geographical exploration came to an end. Today, with only a handful of uncontacted tribes and deep ocean frontiers remaining, the concept of exploration has become a relic of the past. This change raises questions about how we now channel our innate human curiosity and desire for discovery.
