HW # 7 & 8 My Thoughts On Last Weeks Assigned Research of Google Maps
Google maps is an extremely useful and beneficial way to create any form of chart or map. It is easy to manipulate, it is good for those who are not technilogically savvy and just downright simple. It is always good to keep things as simple as possible and I believe that they kept this in mind when they designed this tool. Below is a map of presidents and their homestates presented on a google map.
This chart was extremely easy to create and took a very short amount of time. It was no struggle whatsoever compared to other software such as Excel, and took me about 15 minutes including the time it took to gather the information. Online tools such as these are incredibly useful due to the fact that they are free, and open to the public. You need not worry about any kind of a monthly subscription or fee to use it. It is simply at your fingertips at a moments notice. Things such as Google Maps are what is bringing us into a new age of sharing. Yes, we already have our cell phones and the ability to share photos, but things such as these give us the capability to share large amounts of data in very easy ways. We can access our documents, presentations, and maps from any computer. These tools are what is bringing us into a place where before when all we had was a wall phone, would have made us uncomfortable. Anyone can access our thoughts on a document, our feelings in photography or our latest big news simply by accessing their computer. Yes, we already had similar abilities before, but the more software like this is developed the faster we are able to share what we have to say to the world.
