Google Street View

What do i think about Google street view?

IT'S THE BEST!

Way before google street view came out i often went on google maps to look at where i live. The pictures were tiny and i could only see my roof and long green yard. At the time i wished they had something that let me see my house and maybe catch a picture of me with it. Guess what?! now they do! That made my day i spent the longest time on it just taking a look around m area. It actually became quite convenient since i could now see some of my relatives houses.


Privacy issues?

Personally I don't mind. Think of it this way we don't live in the stone age anymore, technology is growing and we just have to adapt to it. I honestly don't think that google steet view is bad at all. If someone were to stalk me there are 100 ways to do it and it doesn't have to be using Google Street view. With everything out there today from satellite images to tracking devices or even cameras that can zoom in at you from kilometers away theres nothing wrong with google street view. Does it really matter if your license plate can be seen or you face? don't e walk around everyday showing our face to people. It is against the law to hide your license plate so what is the big deal with privacy issues? With GPS systems today your parents can track where you are just with their phone. I don't think that there is a single place in the world that we live in that would gve us 100% privacy. It is just not possible and people should realize that.

Anyways to wrap up my point I think that Google Street View is convenient and there is nothing wrong with it. People might have issues with it today but later on in our lives technology is going to evolve and when that time comes what are we going to say? Technology is bad? We should just stop evolving as humans and go back to when the dinosaurs roamed around earth? I don't think so.
