The AAG's Centennial Celebration has inspired a volume focused on Geography and Technology, highlighting the transformative impact of new technologies on the discipline. Historically, technological advancements have been crucial in enhancing geographic understanding, but the current era marks an unprecedented evolution in geography. Recent innovations, particularly in geographic technologies like GPS and GIS, are not only expanding research possibilities but also redefining geography's role in society and academia. This integration is leading to an explosion of "real-time, real-world" applications, creating dynamic environments for research and management. The interactive capabilities of GPS/GIS position geography at the forefront of multidisciplinary research and modeling, while also establishing essential management tools that will significantly alter governmental and business operations in the future. However, alongside these opportunities, the emergence of technologies such as remote sensing and location-based services presents challenges for the field. This volume addresses both the advancements and obstacles, reflecting on the evolving landscape of geography in the context of technological innovation.
