Final Blog Post

For my final blog post, I want to talk about the beauty of coding.

For the past couple of weeks, I have just been coding for a class - ECS 30 - and it has given me a new viewpoint of maps, and a general perspective of my surroundings. While technology surrounds our daily lives, most of the time we take it for granted. Need to find the nearest Taco Bell? Just turn on your phone and search for it.

The only reason that we have such a convenience in our daily lives is all due to the diligence of engineers and computer scientists around us. What we have achieved today, and what will shape the near future is the collective efforts of engineers all across the world.

What has made communication and maps so accessible. I cannot fathom how the first few digital maps were made. What people have done with digital maps for the map project is so simple compared to how these maps were made - "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

I am just curious how technology will shape the images of America in the future.
