Never the less, after we discussed our projects, what a requirements analysis actually was, and what a high level design was, we had a presenter about GIS. He works for Penn State as a professor and researcher in the Department of Geography for GeoVISTA. His presentation was okay, I have to say that Geographic Information Systems do not spike my interest in the least therefore I didn't really pay too close of attention to his presentation. One thing I did pick up on though was how he was using social media to geographically see what was occurring in geographic areas; and that Penn State wanted to use that technology on Penn State students during the rioting and protesting during the last few tumultuous weeks. Luckily, he saw a conflict of interest so that technology was not made available.
All in all, he knew his stuff, and my group is still struggling with our project.
