Roger Tomlinson created geographic information system technology in the late 1960s. The “Father of GIS” wanted to map not only the physical characteristics of the land, but also the population patterns and migration patterns of humans and animals in a digital format that allows for the vast storage of geographical data. Having the information stored digitally allows for user-friendly searching and graphic displaying which renders the data easy to analyze because it has been organized for the reader’s benefit.
“Geography really matters in human decision making. Geography is a set of fundamental skills we must embed in our young people.” – Roger Tomlinson
