Blog 7: Street View> Airfare

This past week, Google announced and is promoting their new street views for there millions of users. We all do it, we google information, images and we also are always in need of directions and how to get from point A to point B. Google has always given the public the oppuritnity to use "Google Maps" online and on several mobile devices. Just recently, google and apple went there seapreate ways when Apple decided to use it's own "mapping" app. They no longer have much of an integration and relationship with Google and they even took out the "YouTube" app on the new software update.
   But anyways, Google has announced to the public more maps and more images in order for us to see "street" views and images that are now at our finger tips. They are now alloing us to see 250,000 more miles of street views from many other countries. The innovation and the quality that google has given us is enormous and a tool in which is very beneficial when we are using. Many use this application in order to find out more about their desitination and to actually have a visual on what point B looks like. This new street update will also have many other features. One includes the oppurtinity to find out more infromation on torusim events and locations. So if you're on vacation, you will not only know how to get there, you will also have additional infromation on what to do with your free time.

I think this is benifitial for many to use becouse this is an opputinity for peeople to have more ambition to actually go and travel, experiance new things and meet new people. Honestly, that's what we need to do in society. Our communities and societteis have set a precedent on how specific places look like. For example, many people are not going to places like mexico becouse they hear on what is happening on the news, regarding the drug cartels and killings. But many people dont know, that there are many locations in MX and places that are undergoing drug wars, that are actually safe and a great location to sit back, and relax. Like mentioned before, this is something that will help global problems regarding labeling and confusion on how to get from place to place. Heck, I use google maps all the time.
