El mundo de los mapas: Nuevo paradigma en la formaci??n en SIG via @geoinquiets

. El que penso? . , , , ,

Education is in a huge disruptive time. Generation Y, the native digital scholars do need diferent ways for learning. Access to knowledge is becoming more easy through the net and the traditional teaching process must change to follow up the new disruptive digital environment.
GIS training is in a similar disruptive time. Maps, GPS, check-in and location apps are becoming natural part of end-users. As Dr. Armando Guevara says : “success of technology is when it is not seen”.
The challenge for people coming from the cartographic world will be how to convert such complex and sofisticated GIS technology, based on deep cartographic knowledge, to develop value added applications and services for end users.
When I built my home some years ago I asked to the architect why the name was ‘H Arquitectes’, why the ‘H’ in front of the name. The answer was amazing : “the ‘H’ is a letter that is there but you do not perceive (never pronounced in Spanish and Catalan) So, our architecture is designed and created in a way that you perceive the beauty but do not realize is there” http://harquitectes.com/
I believe that principle must also be applied to technology when delivered to end -users : must be there but not perceived.
Just do it for all GIS and new cartographic and location world.
This is the challenge.

Tech lead: Location is personal!

. Tecnologia, LBS i més coses...

Context is the crux: With several location enabled apps, the focus is now to enrich user experience by creating context to location. Dennis Crowly of Foursquare says, “Twitter is like ‘present tense’ service but the real story can be built with the history of it. The challenge to technologists is to create social context, to be able to tell people where they need to go and that is of utmost interest.” Enumerating this aspect, Mok Oh, Chief Innovation Officer, WHERE Inc says that there was a time when ‘where’ function was :

Where x, y, z represented the coordinates on earth and t is time. But today, location is associated with several other attributes and contexts and it is best described as :

Turning to proliferating location enabled applications, Jack Dangermond says, “Social media and real time feeds are part of real time maps. They are creating interesting opportunities and challenges at the same time. The future of GIS will be strong in providing a platform for maps and apps.”Multimedia content: After enabling location and adding lot of context to it, developers are looking to create multimedia content with audio and video enablement. To enrich this experience, apps are being made more interactive as well.

#INprenedors quanta SAVIESA innovant a l’empresa … “HACKEJANT el sistema des de baix”

. El que penso?

Prenc la llibertat d’extreure algunes notes per fer entrar les ganes de llegir el document complert, val la pena. Tant de bo es llanc??s un programa per educar i promocionar el concepte des de l’escola :

“… qu?? ??s un INprenedor dins d???una empresa? Tots els que ens considerem INprenedors, d???alguna manera, ens hem sentit una mica revolucionaris, una mica bandolers dins de la nostra organitzaci??. No acceptem les coses tal com s??n i intentem canviar-les i utilitzem, per a aix??, t??cniques de guerrilla: la tenacitat, la sorpresa, la ???invisibilitat??? en molts casos …”

Hi havia un programa a TV3 amb el Capit?? Enciam que deia : “els petits canvis s??n poderosos ! ” o en el cap??tol 12 : “HACKEJANT el sistema des de baix : canviar les coses sense prendre el poder” :

“Els hacks s??n el resultat d???una ment creativa que s???enfronta a un problema ent??s com a repte intel??lectual, i acostumen a produir-se en condicions de necessitat o de joc … Per a una ment creativa, la motivaci?? intr??nseca que desferma un hack ??s diversos ordres de magnitud m??s reconfor- tant que la motivaci?? extr??nseca, basada en diners o cotes de poder m??s elevades.“

I una reflexi?? for??a interessant : Sense prendre el poder 

“Per qu?? sense prendre el poder? Perqu??, com pensa Holloway, cap de les presumptes vies per canviar les coses a trav??s de la presa del poder (revolucion??ries o reformistes, segons la tradici?? marxista) ha tingut ??xit i han ocasionat precisament tot el contrari, la repetici?? de les mateixes estructures de poder, amb l???agreujant de la tensi?? provocada pel propi canvi. Cruel??ssims eufemismes hist??rics com la ???Revoluci?? Cultural??? de Mao Tse Tung s??n manuals d???aix?? mateix. Sense posar-nos tan dram??tics, ??s f??cil recordar antics companys amb ganes de canviar la b??stia organitzativa des de dintre (reformisme), que acaben sent un ressort m??s de la seva gran maquin??ria, o que, creant noves iniciatives o empreses (revo- luci??) amb lloables intencions inicials, cauen de nou en tot all?? que van voler evitar.”

Llegiu el document. Hi ha tamb?? una versi?? en castell?? http://bit.ly/guCzf7
