Internship- GIS Day
I did not have any GIS Day events happening near me, so I decided to celebrate at home. I found a video (Links to an external site.) from The GeoSpatial Revolution that briefly discussed the many applications of GIS. I showed this video to my boyfriend, along with some of the maps I have made. The video shared industries that use GIS, such as the military, human rights groups, environmental groups, and political campaign groups. While the video is brief and meant to be a trailer, I think it did a really good job of highlighting how important and intrinsic GIS is. My boyfriend is in the military, so it was really interesting to talk about the types of maps he sees and uses regularly. He noticed that some of the maps I showed him (contour maps) looked like what he uses. It was really cool to find similarities in our professions.
