But it wasn't always like this. Our Founding Fathers had to do things the hard way. Messages were delivered by hand. Much of the continent wasn't mapped or explored. And you actually had to "know" arithmetic. With the popularity of smart phones and E-Readers, imagine what apps some of the most famous individuals behind the American Revolution might have used on a regular basis: [image: iTopo Maps]<http://links.namgclubs.net/ctt?kn=24&m=4553280&r=NjEwMzI1ODM5MQS2&b=0&j=MTYyNzYwMTI3S0&mt=1&rt=0>George Washington: iTopo Maps<http://links.namgclubs.net/ctt?kn=18&m=4553280&r=NjEwMzI1ODM5MQS2&b=0&j=MTYyNzYwMTI3S0&mt=1&rt=0> In the days before Google Maps, leading troops into battle relying on a hand-drawn map crafted by a surveyor was probably not an easy task.

Jefferson likely would not have been without an E-Reader, and Language Masters is designed to teach various languages.

With so much going on, he would have loved Hootsuite, an app that organizes and keeps up with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and various social media platforms.
