From the Ted Talk by Jack Dangermond: How a geospatial nervous system could help us design a better future

Unscramble the Blue Letters

JD: Yes, building a geospatial nervous system will allow us to guide society in such a way. And in a way, it's not somebody guiding others, it's not like that at all. It's like the internet itself. It's an interconnected network of serving kgonewdle, sharing knowledge, and using each other's knowledge. That is, multidisciplinary knowledge, different kinds of science knowledge to be able to see and understand before action. All we're doing is building tools that interconnect different organizations' information. And independent arctos running in independent organizations all around the wlord are building something I like to call this geospatial infrastructure. And they're lyarieng it on top of the web. It's like one agency is srnevig their information and another one is able to use it with their own iimrtafonon and therefore make better decisions, make more sustainable decisions. Now, they're still all independent actors. I mean, there's no control, there's no orders from headquarters. What this is is a fabric that's engiemrg very rapidly.
