GIS (Geographic Information System) is an exciting technology I recently discovered. The more I learn about it, the more I understand it's endless potential and variety of applications. GIS professionals format data with maps to present ways to solve problems and improve communities effectively. With GIS, you can comprehend a significant amount of data with one simple glance of the eye.
If you live in Michigan, you will definitely want to check out the SEMCOG (Southeast Michigan Council of Governments) Web-site to understand Michigan's economy in a number of dimensions. SEMCOG uses GIS, "interactive databases and mapping applications featuring demographic, transportation, economic, land use, and public safety information" to help organizations and communities to identify their needs and find solutions. Additionally, there are maps that reflect forecasts of demographic and economic change in Southeast Michigan through 2035! Just by looking at these maps in specific time periods, one can immediately comprehend the estimated changes expected to take place in each period.
