Gps Global Positioning System Applications
GPS?!?! Global positioning system?
I’m doing a report on GPS and I need to know several things:
1) who really invented it and how did it get developed?
2) how did it change/improve/develop with time?Who did it?
3) Benefits and advantages
4) Dangers?
5) Future developments/applications or uses?
6) Effects in society
I would thank anyone who could help me find out some of these things, since I’m having some issues, especially with #’s 1 and 2!
thanks a lot! =)
