Mapping

An interesting article about mapping on the New York Times.

When a technology or discipline is democratized like this, and much the same way desktop publishing and design was in the mid 80s, I always wonder if the art in the discipline is somewhat tainted. A wealth of information or technology doesn't mean a wealth of insight or craft. Who knows though, once these technologies are opened up to the world there really isn't any going back.
