GIS as a discipline and industry
GIS technology is more than just a computer system; it is also an important industry and academic discipline. From modest origins 30 years ago, it has grown to become a major multimillion dollar industry employing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. 
The use of GIS technology is now taught in schools, colleges, and universities throughout the world. Today's young professionals are increasingly aware of the advantages of thinking and working from a geographic point of view. Graph data courtesy of Daratech, Inc.
