Today in class we talked about the upcoming election and which states Obama has in the bag and which states he may have difficulty wining. The main lesson in class though was using Google fusion and mapping the locations of all the houses in Fayetteville from homework #6. It is easier than it looks to map all 1831 houses in our data; Prof. Sistrunk showed us every step and shortcut to make the task possible. The use of Google fusion would be useful to someone who is looking to compare statistical data between two areas or in one are between two different categories like crime in an areas where the majority of the citizens are democratic or republican. Goggle fusion is a way companies can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on software that maps statistical data. Through Google fusion we were able to see which states belonged to which political party.
Yea I still feel it is interesting how google fusion tables are so powerful, this is definitely an application that I will be able to use in my next school project or internship.
ReplyDeleteGoogle fusion made it easy to map out homes and get a better understanding of where the homes are. This statistical map can also help home buyers sort through prices and where the home is located all at the same time.
