Make-up Assignment 2/9/16

1. Google has used the amazing technological advancements to help mankind in many ways. They’ve put together a single, highly advanced map that covers five million miles of the world. In addition, the images are accurate and realistic because of the camera that were used on vehicles. 

2. Google Maps: a decade of transforming the mapping landscape.

The Launch of google maps lead digital maps to become mainstream approximately ten years ago today. Google’s goals was to create one map of the entire earth in which a user could browse the entire earth. Google maps finally was featured on the first iPhone in 2007. Eventually, they ran into issues with cars gathering data for them such as address information and wifi networks in foreign countries. The wifi information resulted in a 7 million dollar fine. 


3. It was astonishing for me to see the way that Kenya took advantage of camels to record data and imaging of street views. Street cameras were also used record data on elephants. Over six hundred elephants were recorded.
