Satellite technology and computer software have greatly improved the amount of detail and accuracy in map making. A prime example of this is Google Maps and Google Earth which not only creates a simulated topographical map of the entire world using real-life photos, but also incorporates 3-D modeling to re-create structures and landmarks. Additionally, crowd sourcing information has led to map details being kept up to date on a regular basis.

As a new technology becomes older, more of the technology is available. Usually, a company that comes out with a new technology holds an exclusive copyright initially, and then they sell rights to make their technology to other companies. With more of the technology becoming available commercially, it becomes less rare. Also, when a new, better technology comes out, the value of all older technologies that are similar (i.e. a new computer processor or video card) are driven down because there is better technology available.
