Geospatial information transforming industries

“Enhancing” and “transforming” technological changes

Transforming:

Alters the structure and roles within an industry or profession •Marine chronometer – enabled an international system•Cotton gin – commercialized cotton agriculture•Water frame – launched factory-based manufacturing•Haber process – transformed agricultural yields •Internet

Enhancing:

Provides significant incremental benefits but does not alter underlying roles & relationships within an industry or profession
