I think the technology incorporated into GIS is extremely useful because it provides us with a way of uploading or rather copy and pasting information into a database called Carto DB. I appreciate the fact of being able to create your own personal maps to use as a display for not only a class project but anything that’s map related. GIS allows us to access small repository of datasets and a variety of base maps. I think its wonderful to be able to upload and visually create a map with data of your choosing. GIS is a great new technology that I think can benefit a lot of people.
