Dude!!
Fuck you, Matrix! Google Earth has you whipped!
I haven’t visited Google’s replica of our world in a bit, but as I am going on vacation to Europe soon, I thought I’d download the latest version and take a top-down view of some of the places I might visit.
Zooming in to one of the markets in Paris, I saw that as you got closer to the street level, M.C. Escher-like bubbles emerged that I could, like, step into as if I were visiting from another dimension, and then boom! I was in the market with a 360° view!
I don’t normally pee my pants over our dehumanizing modern technology, but this was just freakin’ neato. Can a TARDIS be far away?
I think it’s a bit of a leap from 360 degree view to time and space travel, but we’re probably not too far!
I did that, but zoomed in on my house. I browsed around in Google Earth until I caught an image of my computer screen in Google Earth. The internet went down for a day.

Wanted to add something creepy. For something fun to do with Google Earth, got to a place you know well but hasn’t been mapped yet with street view/360 view yet (my home town is like that). Scroll in all the way until you’re in ground level view mode. “Drive” around all the familiar places you know, except all of the houses have been smashed flat, with no powerline poles to see, except their shadows.

I love Google Earth. My girlfriend is currently building 3D models of Belfast for Google Earth. 2 of hers are published and there already!
Have you not come across google street view before? You can visit places before you visit them.
