I would love to know what you all think of Google Street View.

At the moment it is not allowed in Germany as they say it is an invasion of privacy. What do you think about it?!

Every new technology has two sides to it, good and bad. It is true that there are both types of implications of this new Google feature. This is an invasion of privacy is a true fact. But from another angle if we analyze this Google street could be great in locating people, houses during a natural calamity.

My 11  year old daughter found her school on google street and there were kids playing in the field...including a clear picture of her. It kinda gave me the creeps that children and schools were on there.

Interesting viewpoint Kelly! I suppose its the same with mobile phones too...or even the internet, that first came in the 1950´s I think... on a very limited version.. no Facebook back then!

I can see why people think its dangerous, but I suppose it all depends on what you use it for and how old the pics are.
Its like anything on the internet. Most of the applications are old army technology that has been given to the public after like 30 years of it being available to the military, who knows what other applications "The Man" has Smile

I think it's OK.It's nice to see what kind of area someone lives in, see what a street is like .

The pictures ar older. The camera's that always are onsite in the big city's I do not like.

I love Google Street View, but i have to say that I have to say that I dont like the fact that you dont know how old the pictures are. Imagine if some thieves wanted to break into a house, they can see what the house is like, access etc, from a safe distance witha cup of coffee, and plan their robbery... That aint good, but like Ida says, its pretty awesome for "travelling" around cities and stuff!

Its like anything on the web though, if you abuse it, its not good!

Hi !

 

We have in Finland Google Earth.....now also street wiew.When it come,,there was some pictures some naked man,,in her teras,after the sauna...and he was in wiew ,,There was much of writings in our head magazine,,and google can take away people pictures when you contact them.Mostly there is not people,but also them .

Ok,I like it,,it´s fantastic way to "yrawell",,or if you like to know ,how some your friend is living...a little curious(all people are som how....)you can see her house ,just like you are walking in street .

But ,,my first trip was to Paris ,and I wanted to see Eiffel touer near...and I saw all people there and all steps..fantastic!!!!

Then I travelled to see pyramids in Egypt,,Grand canion ,Alps,Manhattan,Disneyland...and all places where I had been,,Rohdos,Teneriffa,Fuengirola,,an all was there.

It´s fantastic.....James ,,did you know that in google earth you can go to the moon  ,too..................................................................................................................(**)

I live in the States and I have to say that I understand the problem with privacy etc...but on the other hand, its a great way of looking whats going on elsewhere Wink
You can see what kind of area someone lives in, you can see what a street is like that you might move into... so I think in reason its ok.

The problem is that there is nobody to police it, so where does reasonable stop and freaky begin!?!
