Technology will make our lives easier, how much longer do we have to wait in order for us to realize that. I'm not asking that we throw away our lifestyle but that we embrace technology through any means necessary. GIS is one of those technology that we should embrace. If you live in the city, you are constantly engaging with GIS. The reason is because GIS is a software used by everyone with data. It is not easy to provide evidence to the public, evidence that shows how information is free and powerful.
Data can be found on your cellphone, car GPS, and even through work information. Public information is different from Private information. As technology evolves we become immune to having too little of one or the other if we do not act now. Net neutrality has been recently fiddled with here in the U.S, while some states still fight for the freedom of accessibility to public and private data.
GIS is a powerful tool that will take humanity to places they never discovered from their phone. Google Earth is a web-based map projection of the earth that shows 3D models of cities using satellite images, sensors, as well as computer coding. This software has been upgraded as of recent and implore everyone to try it out.
If you enjoy history, Computer design, and public relations Urban Studies is the right place for you. I joined this program in the city because I was not sure how I could fit into hunter. Urban studies showed me to embrace the most important fact, Technology is bring us closer together unlike anything before. If you have a gift to draw then design something, If you can calculate then problem solve, and if you write then organize thoughts. This is how we can design communication to be clear, pristine, and translucent.
