Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Not long ago, the search party for a missing plane would have involved a few local officials and volunteers. Today, the search for a missing adventurer in Nevada involves thousands of people all over the world scouring satellite images of the site. It’s another sign of how new mapping technologies are transforming the way we interact with our surroundings. Join Kojo for a look at the world of satellites and digital maps, and how they’re impacting our sense of space and distance.
