The document discusses how digital maps have evolved to navigate the human condition. Digital maps have moved beyond simply representing geographic space and now incorporate personal goals and metrics to track health, relationships, gaming achievements and more. This evolution was driven by cultural forces like increased personal participation and self-measurement, as well as technological forces such as ubiquitous hardware, exploding data availability, and open network access. Today's digital maps are more fluid systems that connect personal goals and metrics in real-time, rather than static artifacts representing impersonal geographic spaces. The future of maps remains uncertain as technology and human needs continue to change.
