Sorry Im confused about How it effected europe

Since the word effect is a noun, I have no idea. Those things did affect Europe. How did people figure out which direction was which before the compass? Did the compass make it easier? What did people use before porcelain? Wooden trenchers? Bronze or pewter vessels? When pretty porcelain from China became available, what did that do for trade with the Far East? Did it prompt a new industry in Europe? Does your text address any of this (and aspects I haven't mentioned here)?
