Google Earth definitely puts the use of satellites and various technologies to a different level. It is revolutionary, in my opinion, because it has definitely made this advanced technology widely accessible to the public. However, I also understand the argument that advancements such as Google Earth and "check ins" may also pose a scare in that they make it easier to trace people's whereabouts and properties (as is connected to the experiment by Erik Born and Leif Toudal Pederson). I believe, however, that the technology is still a work in progress but despite the cons, it is still worth using and appreciating. The tool, although is not accurate, is still apparently real and is extremely helpful not only for scientists to conduct experiments/observations but also for laypeople to become more aware of different surroundings and to "travel virtually".
