Las representaciones gráficas en la sociedad del siglo XXI

Abstract

21st century technology has converted information into a numerical format. In addition, the Internet is the platform for immediate access to the infinite interconnected databases. This fact has allowed the development of online communication and the network of social networks. Likewise, software has been an essential tool for developing all kinds of interfaces, which have facilitated the implementation of this model in society. In this panorama, thematic cartography has experienced an outstanding flourishing, where any type of digital file has been able to create a new discursive map, and by extension, review the meaning of the place. Some cartographic samples have been compiled, built with multimedia material, and based on personal narratives. Secondly, another type of narrative cartography dependent on a geographic base map has been included. Finally, the use of state-of-the-art maps has been normalized, with a synthesized information, hyperconnected and constantly updated,
even these representations of communication have spread to other spheres of society and areas of knowledge.
