The Future of Geocomputation Department of Geography | 18 December 2015

The future of

geography is cheap.

Cheap Hardware & Software We can collect and analyse all sorts of data from the environment – and from people – at little or no cost.

Cheap Interaction We can also now take away the screen and the keyboard to create shared, immersive environments that widen participation.
