In real estate, photographs of a property are an incredibly valuable marketing tool. Very rarely do people buy properties sight unseen. After all, people want to see what they’re buying, and that’s especially true in real estate. If you’re selling land, though, you can’t just snap some photos and call it a day. You have to make sure to capture the beauty and fantasy of the home and the land, and this is how you do it.

Hydropower isn’t new by any means; humans have been harnessing the power of water for thousands of years (though back then, the energy was mostly used for tasks such as grinding wheat into flour). It wasn’t until 1880 that hydropower was first used in the U.S. industrially. And two years later, in September of 1882, a Wisconsin plant on the Fox River became the first to sell the electricity it produced.

In those days, we did not have the slightest of clues what the future of energy looked like, all we knew was that something revolutionary had occurred - and we were right. Today, the grid supplies electricity across the nation, powering everything from homes, to factories, to electric cars.

Life would be wildly different if we didn’t have maps. From highlighting important trends to helping us find our way to new places, these visualizations shape our perception of the world. Accordingly, cartography is a great career to be in; the work is interesting, travel is frequent, and it’s a highly creative occupation. Occasionally, cartographers will even sneak a fictional city into their maps to catch copycats (Google Maps does it too - ever heard of Argleton, England?). All of that is to say, mapping experts contribute a great deal to society.

The humble tree provides more than just beautiful scenery, considering forests account for 80% of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity, they are an essential part of our natural world. However, these gentle giants need our help in order to survive. According to One Tree Planted, 46% of the world’s forests have already been destroyed, and every 1.2 seconds we destroy another football field worth of forests. However, it’s not all doom and gloom; it’s certainly a tall order, but with forestry mapping software, we have all of the tools we need to begin giving and restoring our forests to their former glory.
