Blog #11

GIS!

"GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts." http://www.gis.com/whatisgis/index.html

So I have never really heard of a GIS before I wrote this blog and I'm still not to clear but I'm going to try to explain it my best. To my understanding the current applications for GIS in the present day or the near future basically just helps us see and understand better maps, globes, reports and other sort of information. This could lead us to maybe seeing different parts of the world, and or the weather that we could be facing such a Global Warming or sever weather conditions.
