UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., March 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris
Corporation is a major sponsor of an integrated media and outreach
program developed by Penn State Public Broadcasting (PSPB) to help
educate the public about the world of digital mapping and how it is
changing the way we think, behave and interact. The PSPB's
Geospatial Revolution Project consists of a series of web-based
videos, each of which tells an intriguing geospatial story. Viewers
will virtually meet inventive people who are using satellite-,
surveillance- and location-based technologies to address some of
the world's most difficult problems. The series will discuss the
benefits of this proliferating technology, as well as concerns
related to security and privacy. "Geospatial technology and
information is playing an ever-increasing role in all aspects of
our lives, and it's vital that we expand public awareness and
understanding of its benefits and risks," said Jeffrey Shuman, vice
president, Human Resources and Corporate Relations. "As a leader in
geospatial technology for more than 25 years, Harris is proud to
sponsor this important educational initiative." Release of the
first episode is planned for mid-September 2010. The project also
will include an outreach initiative in collaboration with
educational partners, a chaptered program DVD and downloadable
outreach materials. A preview video and more information about the
project are available at: http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/
