  • GIS is seen as something that every educated person should know about, a set of tools that allow us to see and interact with the world in new and stimulating ways, a contemporary way of satisfying a deeply felt love of maps and geography, and a way of expressing concern for the future of the planet.
  • other equally compelling and accessible services, such as ESRI's ArcGIS Explorer (www.esri.com/arcgisexplorer), Microsoft's Windows Live Local (local.live.com), Amazon's A9 (A9.com), satellite navigation systems, and online maps and driving directions, the general public has become far more aware of the power of spatial data and the degree to which technology now allows easy sharing, visualization, and exploration of information about the planet's surface.
