To create visual images of the numerical data, a geodesist may also have to work on a computer and program animated simulations, a task that often requires the scientist to be tech-savvy. Geodesists need to have certain knowledge and skills in applied mathematics, physics, computer programming, and even in clerical work to perform effectively. Technology such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the 24 satellites that rotate around the Earth also help geodesists in their tasks.
As one can see, the profession of geodesist is not the easy one, but its importance for the future of the mankind development, surveying the environment the people live in is of high importance.

The science of geodesy is only concerned with travelling and animated computing.
It is impossible to alter the topography of Earth.
Tech-savvy are people whose task is usually to keep their equipment in safe place.
Geodesists visit the site for measurements only once.
The skills in applied mathematics, physics, computer programming are not necessarily for a geodesist.

The Representation of International Boundaries.
International boundaries are the major divisions on the Earth`s surface, and because human societies often compete for control of the Earth`s resources, they frequently represent the lines or zones of friction or conflict. They may be determined by force or by agreement. In many cases, disputes about international boundaries are settled by agreement. Causes of dispute may occur through a change in the value of the land concerned, especially along undefined frontiers. For example, although an area of desert between two states, virtually uninhabited, may serve as a frontier zone in which there is so little interest that there is no conflict. The discovery of a resource such as petroleum may lead to a change in the economic value of the area concerned. In this case the exact location of the boundary line becomes critical.
