TRANSCRIPT

geography

2050

geography the science of everything

baseline

7.3 billion people 7.6 billion mobile devices

56% are smartphones

in 2014

every minute

1300 new mobile users

in 2050, continuous

digital footprint of human behavior,

in real-time.

9.5 billion people 18 billion smartphones

25,920,000,000,000 device locations per day

9,460,800,000,000,000 device locations per year

236,520,000,000,000,000 total locations per year

digital record of routines, customs, traditions and their

evolution

more profound and more pronounced as more people

use more smartphones

that have more apps to record more aspects of life over longer spans of time

volume and velocity of mobile data growth provides an unbroken digital tapestry

modeling human behavior, even true predictive analysis,

is within reach

this body of data about human activity has no equal

it’s going to be quite an adventure

thank you
