GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems and these technologies existed previously, but were often in the domain of military, scientific, or government applications. Geospatial datasets were either public, but hard to decrypt. Or they were easy to view, but expensive. However, with the advent of Google Earth, NASA World Wind, yahoo maps, and google maps, GIS has come into mainstream awareness and attention.
