Why did the evolution in digital maps occur?!
Cultural force!
Peopleʼs increasing participation in – and shaping of – choices and outcomes!
A growing interest in self-measurement ! Place, time and progress reference points! Rise in gamification!
Technology force!
Hardware! Became ubiquitous; Mooreʼs Law holds; Computers become faster,
cheaper, smaller!
Data! Cheaper storage; Tools to create data; Explosion of geographic and
relational data creates opportunities for innovation!
Access! Birth of networking and openness of standards gives everyone access to
data to use as they please!
