      This solution was recognized over 30 years ago (White & Haas, 1975) and was noted again 15 years ago (Drabek, 1991a), but has made limited progress. During the 1990s, FEMA was able to improve federal flood insurance by promoting the Community Rating System and reducing repetitive losses (purchasing and demolishing houses that were flooded and ...

      With the rapid improvement of modern computers, it is feasible to speculate that people, with enough money, will own robots which will assist in household duties in the next 20 years. Today’s computers will resemble future computers in the same respect that a 1930 type writer resembles a modern computer, in that the two look similar.

      I started teaching accounting almost 30 years ago. When I started teaching, computers were the size of classrooms, hand held calculators cost hundreds of dollars, and a personal trainer was someone who helped you get your shape in shape. Things have certainly changed over 30 years.

      Many date back in time, and today, they continue to affect many common GI applications. The triangulated irregular network (TIN) is one of those developments. GeoInformatics recently spoke to those involved with TIN 30 years ago, querying them about TIN. We also gathered their personal reflections on its importance now and into the future.
