Reminder About Map-Based Assumptions
earth observation, mapmaking, navigation January 29th, 2010Following is an interesting talk by David Sivers at the TED Conference that uses several different map-based labeling and addressing assumptions to help us realize that people view the world in different ways. This is a good reminder that “there’s a flip side to everything,” and that we shouldn’t get too caught up in burning our own map-based assumptions into other people’s brains by proliferating static maps. There are many ways to look at the world.
