hey mate here is ur answer
We now call them Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS attempts to overcome the shortcomings of traditional geography. You have problems on maps (using a cartographic example) where symbology, icons, text, interfere against nice new ideas like changes in scale (constraints). Those are artifacts of map making and rendering. We want to introduce the speed and flexibility of computers into this area not traditionally thought as an application for computers (more that mere computer graphics, more than multimedia).
In the early era of GIS as concepts were developing, one of my graduate advisers was a fellow named Jack Estes (working with others to formulate) what machines could and could not do for users. He came up with models for geographic information which could scale, be recursive, used to detect, identify, and get quantitative spatial information. Printing a paper map could be difficult when features were closely located. See the work of Mike Goodchild.
The precursors to some of these problems were identified by Waldo Tobler, seen as the father of computer cartography. But understand that GIS isn't necessarily just about map making. It's about handling all that geo-spatial information together to provide more than something you hold in your hand
