66% of people cant read a map.

[Tartar Horde]

could the reason the vast majority of our population can't read a map be because, they just don't see them as relevant to today's life.
I believe they think road signs and roads are all they will ever need to get anywhere they need to be. Very few people would consider travelling across country and so consequently have never needed to use a map, they are lulled into a false sense of security believing that the infrastructure of modern life will be there to save them.
