Really brilliant. While their may be privacy issues (but, not really, since anyone can legally take a snapshot of your street) the real problem I sometimes worry about is national security. Is it right that just anyone at any part of the world can now get significant details about areas in your country? I wonder how that really helps national security, to be honest.

I can see the negative aspects of streetview, but I think it would also be very helpful. I love to travel, and sometimes directions can be YIKES when traveling in unknown towns and cities. Being able to pick out certain details ( like a church, or an interesting tree) could be reassuring that you are on the right street when traveling. Personally I think this type of technology could be helpful in the future. Wow, I found this to be very fascinating, instead of scary.

At any rate, I know there have been some concerns raised but again, when you're in public, you certainly have to be prepared for this. What stops a newspaper photography from snapping a random picture of someone on the street? It's been going on for years but certainly not as rabid as this makes it. It's not stopping so we may as well get used to it. Kim,
