GIS and spatio temporal modelling

Hi

I am new to GIS but I am surprised when I find the following statement in a paper. Is thie following statements still valid or this is old. Please let me know. Thanks


While GISs provide some extensive tools for analysis of spatial data, their capabilities for spatio-temporal modelling, and hence the handling of temporal data, have been considered limited. GISs were formerly known to handle time or dynamic variations in a process poorly.  Adhering to this view,  GISs, with their standard functionality, do not explicitly allow dynamic processes to be captured and analyzed. GISs have been traditionally associated with maps, and the capabilities of a contemporary GISs represent map-related ideas of layers, projections and generalizations.

You have an answer, I can try to give more but you'll need to give more information.

What are you trying to do that your quote gives you concern and what part of my answer isn't sufficient?
