M@pp!ng Y0ur Futur3
Making mapping seems like a very tuff job to do. I don't think I'd want to do that. It seems very hard and confusing. They have to deal with landforms, major roads, and waterways. Did you know the they use units to gather information for satellites orbiting around the earth, which broadcasts their position to get longitude and latitude. Wow! that's cool. The main part of map making is Geographic Information Systems, a type of database software. They could database any information they want. Some websites deal with map making also like Maps.com and earth.google.com. They even publish companies to make maps in history books( World History & American History&Government) When your a map making you get to travel and see different parts of the world. They say if your interested in cartography you have to take a lot of geography classes and computer programming classes and also you have to be good in algebra. They recommended it anyone who's interested they say its hot career job for the 21st century. It sound interesting and very fun, but not something I would do. Because they say you have to be good in algebra (ha! math it my worst subject). But it looks interesting and it seems like takes a lot of work to do and a lot of concentration.
