Google Street View

The world captured by Google appears to be more truthful and more transparent because of the weight accorded to external reality, the perception of a neutral, unbiased recording, and even the vastness of the project. With its supposedly neutral gaze, the Street View photography had a spontaneous quality unspoiled by the sensitivities or agendas of a human photographer.”

It’s a herculean task in its scope and a fascinating look at the world. I must admit I feel it is somewhat intrusive into my private space. It feels very 1984 Big Brotherish. But in a world where people post their most private of doings on Facebook its not a great leap to have omnipresent cameras.
