Strange are the ways the gisusers think this way? What the hell gis can
do? Hay man all of you are on this list are earning your livlihood from
GIS/ don't forget the laurals we read during CNN showing of gis uses
during Irag war? and the now one is taliking G_Bomb? and what 15$ billion
business industry is doing? million employed and millions are to be
employed? there are life saving applications under use. Man the litary
works on gis. lots security uses under way without gis life can be more
under threat. food growth and ease supply thanks to GIS. There are endless
applications under uses without gis usch life may not be that easy.
Perhaps you dont see Oxygen you are breathing, imgine without?
