The aquisition of the EarthViewer 3D from Keyhole, Inc. offered an enormours advantages to people in every walks of life. Google, as a leading company in information technology offered a great platform for the development and perfection of the creation of the Virtual Globe popularly known as Google Earth.
Google Earth changes the way we look and the way we understand about the planet we live in. It s never been easy to locate our home, our school, our place of work and everything that matters to us. With a few click of the mouse we can see the place we wanted to go and even the the actual picture using street view. The places where only the rich and famous can see or the most remote where only explorers can go, can now be seen by everyone who wishes to see.
A few days ago I was talking to my sister who lives in another part of the world. I asked for her address and I was able to see what kind of neighborhood she lives in and work. The street view is amazing as if I was there looking through my video camera. She was able to see my place as well.
Looking at my family's neighborhood is not the only thing I do but one of the many things I can do using Google Earth. The main reason for this blog is to share my idea about my personal observation from my travel as well as my "virtual travel" with the air of Google Earth. These maybe socio-political or economic in nature or just plain observation of the interesting place in the world I look into.
Every posting I make will be about a particular place that I am interested about, maybe just a random place that catches my attension or places with significant relevance to particular current world events.
