Google Earth

googleearth.jpgThe web application started out as a venture of Google Inc. into something trivial, the ability to accurately show this earth and anything on it to all without barriers and no holds barred. That changed when Google Earth became so updated and accurate that military forces tookl notice and told or rather requested the company to restrict views to certain levels. Today, Google earth has evolved into a tool for all to see; environmentalists aiming to show the real-time destruction of the earth, city planners who aim to study current developments in hopes of developing with less impact on the environment and the benefits are truly immense. Being able to show the world what we have made this earth of ours into is probably one of the most exciting things that you can do while browsing the web. Imagine being able to see a place almost as if you were there. Add that to all the information you can get online and you get a clearer picture of this earth and the people who live on it.
