POLL: Google Earth - Good or bad ?

**Delighted.** · #1 (**permalink**) 31-07-2007, 01:16 PM

For those who don't know, Google Earth is a program that shows the Earth. You can zoom in on cities and even your own house.

So ..

What's your opinion ?
Do you think it's amazing and one of the best inventions since the lightbulb ?
Or do you think it's a total invasion of privacy ?

It's both good and bad. But I wouldn't want anyone snooping on my property without good cause so in that way I would say it was an invasion of privacy.

great question.
I feel this is one of the best thing ever found on internet. i used to travel alot and had a difficulty in finding places. now no hessel. Google earth has made it so simple. if u wana make a recreation trip to any place of the world, u can plan it, u can arrange trip accordingly. this is great...

not only this, u can find all places u have visited in ur life......

BRAVO..... super ............ the next thing google street view is next biggest invention i believe....

Its bad...It lets people know exactly what to look for...Plus like my house has pool in the backyard but its fenced so no little kids would jump in or something...But with the Google thing they know exactly what we have in our backyard...

It's a great program, you can see what the world looks like just sitting there.

But I wouldn't use it if I didn't need it for school...

very good service indeed.coming toward the "invasion of privacy".yes its really invasion of privecy because now the enemies can easily find the way to attack the country or anthing else.

I can understand why people might think it's an invasion of privacy, but what you are "allowed" to see if whatever would be visible to the public anyway...if you really wanted to attack the country or check out what's in someone's backyard, it's not so difficult to find a way without Google...

In this day and age with all the security cameras, etc., we are always being watched. It's the sign of the times...
