If you work with GIS or in the field in some way you may want to participate in GIS Day (which is today by the way.) Many of us use GIS related information every day and don’t even know it. It’s how we get to work or school. It’s used by Police and paramedics to find you faster. Politicians used it in the recent election. Utility companies, governments, health officials, distributors engineers, environmentalists, television companies, car manufacturers, candy bar makers, UPS, the Post Office, schools, NASA, soccer coaches, boaters, moms and dads all use GIS and the information this field creates, organizes, and provides. Our modern world would not exist without GIS.
