I wanted to do a quick little post about Google Earth, as you should know now that I am a Google freak. But umm...yea...anyway Google Earth is a free download program where you can find and even view any address in the WORLD! Yea…pretty sick right? I have used it many times before going to different places. The first time I’ve used it was actually a year ago…for spring break I was going to London! Yea really far away, but I have an Uncle that lives there that I stayed with for a week! Anyway, he gave me his address and before I left to go a quarter of the way around the world, I Google earthed him! And that way I saw where he lived, what was around him, and it was just really amazing. This is open to anyone with a computer and so easy to use that even my ten year old nephew could use it. Whoa…wait…that is a scary thought. Hmm…so easy, so free, so accessible…wow, sounds like it could be easy to use as a tool for terrorism. So not to go too far fetched, but honestly, something so easily accessible and free! How can one not question the usage of it? This is when I believe we should have online police for this kind of idea. Another thought: Would Google Earth be the victim or accomplice in a bombing, attack, or invasion due to their information they provide for anyone?
