In satellites do we trust?


Derrick and I finish up the map with Lisardo. Two weeks of very hard walking. Sometimes I wonder: are we OK with GPS and GIS and teaching the world how to make a map by US standards and helping the community reclaim the 'use' of their land; ultimately, aren't we just stuffing another machine full of binary code again??? Feedink Big Bruzza. Said the cynic: let's make sure we digitize the world before we completely screw it up, I mean, delete it. And preserve the virtual in silica, its cleaner. To which you might add: there are 2 kinds of people in this world: Prophets and non-profits.
