Jack Dangermond is a name synonymous with GIS, and in an interview with Chad Vander Veen of Government Technology he discusses advancements in GIS and how it can be used by the government to facilitate transparency.
I think historically GIS has changed the way people think. It’s changing how they reason. That’s because GIS introduces the relationships and patterns that you can only see through GIS visualization. Imagine when full GIS capabilities – all the analytics and power – are available to everyone so they could be more thoughtful and considerate about what they’re doing to the environment.
