View GIS HW in a larger map
The map I made is
a map of the my favorite places. I love the places. Also, I go to the places
when I need some foods or take the classes for my studying. My school has
amazing architectures and beautiful trees. Also, my apartment is a very nice
place for me because it's my home!!
Neogeography is a
new movement that combines maps and technology.
From Neogeography people
can create their own maps. It is greatly beneficial as it allows everyone to
share information with people. Also, Neogeography can help to increase geographical
awareness, and make maps more readily accessible. Furthermore, Neogeography is
a very interactive tool, allowing the general public to become more involved
and interested in geography. While Neogeography is allowing everyone to be a
geographer, there are consequences and pitfalls to this "new geography".
Since the information in Neogeography is all voluntary, the people uploading
the information have no reason to present unbiased, accurate data. This can
result in misleading and unreliable information that can be released to
thousands of online users. Furthermore, since information is not screened
before being posted, much of the information provided by Neogeographers may be
private, causing harmful effects to the person with disclosed information. It
can potentially be very harmful if the information provided goes beyond being
informative.
I don't think that Neogeography
will never be able to replace GIS. Neogeography provides the data and creates
tools that GIS experts are then able to analyze and support. However, they are
closely related and analogous to other information sharing such as journalism
compared to blogging. Both GIS and Neogeography have a lot to learn from each
other.
