For the fear side of the coin, I once saw an ArcIMS site that allowed
you to enter your zip code and it would display the potential nuclear
blast radius. It showed the concomitant devastation and misery, with
each buffer ring containing the appropriate gory details for its
distance from ground zero.

Subject: [gislist] Geospatial technologies and geographies of hope and
fear
Hi everyone,
On a completely different topic -- I am preparing a paper on the role
that
geospatial technologies (from GPS to GIS to remote sensing to ...) play
in
creating / supporting geographies of hope and fear. While critics point
to
the central role that GIS and GPS play in modern warfare as evidence of
the
fear people associate with geospatial technologies, and while remote
sensing has always been known as the surveillant science, there are many
instances of these technologies providing / promoting hope in society.
I was hoping that the community that participates in this list could
provide (specific) examples of how they see geospatial technologies
bringing hope to society / individuals, or how geospatial technologies
have
increased fear in society. All responses, if used in the paper, would
of
course be sourced.
Thanks,
Brian
