DESCRIPTION
My keynote presentation at Minnesota GIS/LIS. Similar to my recent keynote at AGI GeoCommunity in the UK, but with some additional material (50 vs 30 minutes) and a few tweaks. Looks at trends in the geospatial industry in three areas: moving to the mainstream; a real time multimedia view of the world; and crowdsourcing.TRANSCRIPT

GIS was a specialized backroom technology for many years

Here’s a print of Chinatown, San Francisco.
Instead of gargoyles, we’re using more appropriate bits of icon and text to recognize the corners.
Here you can see that someone has walked around Green Street and noted address information and a few businesses.
This is not information that you’d be able to get from a satellite image.
It’s also information that don’t really need a GPS for: the roads are already in place, but they need extra eye-level information.
