What if we could better understand the world's biggest challenges simply by looking at a map? Jack Dangermond, a pioneer in geographic information system (GIS) technology that powers the digital maps people around the world use every day, speaks with TED technology curator Simone Ross about how his team is building a geospatial nervous system: a global, interconnected GIS network that reveals patterns, visualizes trends — and could transform the way we make decisions about nearly everything.

I remember TED talks being by people who had something to say.
He had to say that he doesn’t like a populated world.
@Sam Sung Is that a thing these days? I don’t acknowledge this as a bona fide subject for conversation because I can’t believe anybody would be so stupid as to put the idea forward that the population of the world needs to be reduced. I mean you go into a house and there are dozens of people in one room and the others are empty., … do you suggest everyone else apart from you and your friends should leave the house?
@eternal Doorman I didn’t say I agreed to that. Hydroponics in Japan and or other technologies that are held small would probably make a population 25x bigger than the current one possible.
@Sam Sung I didn’t think for one minute that you did agree!
Is that Bill Gates twin Brother?! Sounds like He’s reading off the same script!
This sounds like a great way to watch every thing and then form some AI based opinion on what we should do next. Why do we even have brains any more. Let’s just run off the money algorithm. Lol FIA.
Only uncreative, low intelligence, selfish minds would be so monochromatic and simplistic about such a concept. Way to offer up a definition of yourself and a terrible statement in one swoop.
I really liked this Topic it was very interesting
This talk would benefit greatly from a presentation. It’s hard to imagine what GIS is without any experience. They’re talking about visualization without visualization.
Aight

Nice mission thanks for the video
Wow. I didn’t think that GPT-3 could also do so convincing faces…
Very interesting. It would be useful to see an example. He kept on talking about visualising something without showing us any visuals.
