It’s amazing and scary at the same time. This picture is my sister’s street. I’ve never been anywhere near her house, street, city or state but suddenly – with a couple of clicks – I feel like I know the place well.

With Google Map’s ‘Street View’ you can now get 360 degree views of most main streets in major cities in US, France, Japan, Australia. I can walk down the street and turn down other streets. It really is amazing. I spent an hour last night just ‘walking around’ downtown Tokyo, New York and Australia (found a really beautiful town). It’s quite an experience. The images are sharp, you can move around. It’s kind of like a film I watched a few weeks ago called ‘Jumper’ where the guy could traverse space and time. By thinking of a destination he’d be there in a blink. For now, this is the closest we’ll get. But man, it’s good.
