Chapter 6
Chapter 6 discusses spatiotemporal data. Spatiotemporal data refers to data that is relevant to the space and time it was drawn from. Think like a GPS in your car. It discusses how the recent extreme evolution of wireless technology has revolutionized the spatiotemporal data that is collected and how it is used. It was very interesting to see the IoT (Internet of Things) be brought up in this chapter! The last and only time I had heard of the IoT was in a communications class I took a few semesters ago. However, previously I had only thought about this internet in terms of its value historically and the importance of it, rather than a specific use for said internet.An application that I would use from Chapter 6 would be creating a real-time noise pollution map. I’m not sure if Delaware County has sensors for noise that are widespread enough to make this possible, so Franklin County may be a better location for this.
