Make-Up Assignment for 2/9

1. Provide a brief summary of each of the three links, about a paragraph or so for each.

Link 1: This link did not show up for me. I sent you an email before hand about the issue.
Link 2: The second link Google Maps: a decade of transforming the mapping landscape, explains that smartphones and computers navigate and plan our journey for us in today's society. Without such technology we are lost and excluded from society. Google Maps became “the de facto between the digital and physical world” not only providing directions, but the signs, building, street, and many other street rules.
Link 3: While reading and watching the videos it helped me understand how maps truly help us discover an area and its surroundings. The videos helped me have a better perspective and view of what maps on IPhones and computers can do.

2. Write a separate paragraph thinking critically on some of the ideas presented in any of the three links - a critical observation, a critique, or a different interpretation you may have.

 I agree with the second link Google Maps: a decade of transforming the mapping landscape because in today's society technology is so highly advanced that we can ask our IPhone to look up the directions to an address, and in seconds it will provide all the routes with a birds eye view of the landscape.

3. Respond to one of the three YouTube videos included in the "Seven Wonders of the World on Google Street View," writing on your experience, feelings, or observations watching the video.

Watching the Galapagos video surprised me in how advanced our technology of maps has become on Google Maps. Observing its climate, environment, and natural habitat over GoogleMaps was mind-blowing.
