My first post!

As I begin to blog, I have very little clue as what different things I can post.

While browsing, I came across quite interesting article which explains the Evolution of Cartography. This article on the development of geo-spatial information briefly focuses on very first Cylindrical Projection developed by Gerardus Mercator in 16th century to eventually transformation of paper maps into digital form by GIS emerged in 80's and 90's. It also gives inkling to 'what could be the next'. Anyone who is related to 'Map Making' will find it interesting. I really liked it.

Now I am going to spend some time on reading "how to blog"!!! ;)
