Greetings!
When I was a child, there were six main sources of information: parents, school, friends, television, newspaper, and books. Each one firmly held our total attention. We felt the information was true, and we often had time to reflect on it. If the information called up a specific geography, we used our imaginations, augmented by school wall maps and globes to place in into geo-context.
Young people now have more complex sources of information. Smart phones and other internet devices have expanded the volume of information, and are bringing it from new sources. Cloud data on websites and app screens is transitory by design, is difficult to organize, and leaves little time to reflect and absorb.
I'm one of a number of Google visionaries who are pioneering location-based data to improve the ways that humans access cloud data. We develop Google Maps with links to real time and archival cloud data to where you are, or where your cursor is on a map. Such an axis provides access to focused content which is currently scattered across the info-sphere, and which is better understood when placed on the biosphere.
