Development of GIS
Since the mid - 1970s, specialized computer systems have been developed to process geographical information in various ways. These include:
• Techniques to input geographical information, converting the information to digital form.
• Techniques for storing such information in compact format on computer disks, compact disks (CDs), and other digital storage media.
• Methods for automated analysis of geographical data, to search for patterns, combine different kinds of data, make measurements, find optimum sites or routes, and a host of other tasks.
• Methods to predict the outcome of various scenarios, such as the effects of climate change on vegetation.
• Techniques for display of data in the form of maps, images, and other kinds of displays.
• Capabilities for output of results in the form of numbers and tables.
