Google’s Man on the Street
The fun part of work today is that it actually IS my job to play around with Google’s latest toys since I get to implement a project adding some or our data to Google Earth. I’m doing research. W00t!
Google continues to do really cool things like Street View which allows you to virtually visit a number of cities. The funny part is that since the project involves taking real pictures of real places, inevitably real people will be caught doing real (stupid) things. And, true to form in modern society, people caught doing these stupid, immoral, unethical, or bad things will blame Google, as reported by the BBC.
What else can you do but complain if you are photographed exiting a strip club in the middle of the day and are caught on Google Street View by your employer, wife, or mother?
Just another great example of the simple rule of “if you are worried about getting caught doing something wrong, then maybe you shouldn’t be doing it“.
