Steve Coast: Discussing the Future of Maps & Tech with the Founder of OpenStreetMap (& why he thinks maps will disappear) - MBM #30

As maps become more integrated into our everyday lives, they are disappearing into the background, being used for emotional reassurance and providing context.

The speaker predicts that maps will eventually be automated, and they will become a ubiquitous and unnoticeable part of our environment.
