Reach Search Paper Topic

I am currently in IT 103 at George Mason University.  I am currently working on a research paper that deals with IT.  So my idea is the use something from my major and that is Geography.  Many of you might think geography is all about maps and leaning country and cities names.  While Geography deals a lot about different places and maps it deals a lot with technology.

Have you ever heard about GIS?


"A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.
A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.
GIS technology can be integrated into any enterprise information system framework."
