GOOGLE STREET VIEW


I think Google made a great add on to the Google maps, by creating Google Street View. I personally think that it is great for knowing exactly what a specific location actually looks like. Using Google Street View can easily give a better perpective of a particular area (for example your neighbourhood), because you are able to navigate through places using directional keys and the fact that you in viewing the streets in 3-dimensional. This can help many people because some people aren't able to recognize destinations they want to go to, or know how specific addresses look like. If you think about it, it would be easier to find something like a building or house or street if you would already know how it would look like. In my opinion I think Google Street View doesn't really affect that much of your privacy because they do have some characters blurred and that there are limits to what you are able to see. For example; you aren't able to completely rotate and look full circle around a specific house, because I think that would go to the point of invading people's privacy. Also using Google Street View can help people reach far boundaries and take a look at places they haven't even been before (places not just in their general area).

YO LESTER!

I think that I agree with your post because it's easier for the people to actually get to the destination where they want to go and they can actually view the place and it's easier for them to get there because it actually shows a picture. But I diagree with your opinion because even if the faces of the people that are blurred they can still stalk them somehow, but I think that people wouldn't want a picture of themselves on the internet without them knowing. But overall I think that google made a great add to the google maps.

I totally agree with this post. I'm usually not good with directions, therefore google maps has helped me see where the actual location is. When I am looking for a house or a building, it is easier to see what it's actually going to look like in person in just a matter of seconds!
