Geoweb

…geospatial hypermedia as the foundation for a new kind of computing: wearable, context-aware, sentient landscapes with embedded sensors and beacons.

While I was in college I spent the summers taking random classes at various colleges and universities, which is how I stumbled upon Geographical Information Systems (GIS). I took quite a fancy to GIS and after my summer training I created a private reading in GIS at Oberlin, attended GIS conferences (weird) and taught environmental studies students how to use various programs that implemented GIS. The private reading was done with a visiting professor, and once he left GIS just kind of fell to the wayside and I wasn’t sure I’d ever use it again. But with the emergence of the geoweb it looks like I may be able to jump into GIS again.
