The technology stack and the cultural stack

The technology stack and the cultural stack

Author: MapScaping January 25, 2023 Duration: 50:57
This episode covers a wide range of topics from the role of geospatial in systems thinking - representing natural systems in location systems and how we can apply the technology behind virtual worlds to the real world. During this conversation, it became clear to me that technology should be used in service of culture and not the other way around. I think in terms of geospatial we have an interesting opportunity to have an outsized impact if we can just figure out how to market it!    I often think about problems as being either technological or cultural and it seems to me that technology generally moves faster than culture. Although I am sure we can all think of some great examples of huge cultural shifts that have happened in response to short-term emergencies in the past few years.    Culture seems to react to technology as opposed to driving technology. I think if we were all better at marketing we could change this.    Connect with Ingo Simonis https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingosimonis/   Previous Episodes featuring the Open Geospatial Consortium   The Open Geospatial Consortium https://mapscaping.com/podcast/the-open-geospatial-consortium/   Open Geospatial standards - shared standards to solve shared problems https://mapscaping.com/podcast/open-geospatial-standards-shared-standards-to-solve-shared-problems/

The MapScaping Podcast delves into the intricate world where geography meets data. This isn't about static paper maps, but the dynamic, digital systems that help us understand our planet. Each conversation focuses on the practical and the visionary within GIS, geospatial technology, remote sensing, and earth observation. You'll hear directly from the cartographers, data scientists, software developers, and analysts who are building the tools and interpreting the information that defines modern digital geography. The discussions explore how satellite imagery is used, how location intelligence solves complex problems, and where the technology is headed next. For professionals, students, or anyone fascinated by how we chart and comprehend our world, this podcast offers a grounded look at a field that is constantly redrawing its own boundaries. Tune in to The MapScaping Podcast for insights that are as much about the people and ideas shaping this space as they are about the technology itself. It's a consistent source for those who think spatially, providing depth and context that goes beyond the software interface. Listen to find out how the hidden structures of geospatial data influence everything from urban planning and environmental conservation to business logistics and everyday apps.
