When we think of the Internet, and how it has changed our lives, the first things that come to mind for many are e-mail, Internet banking, and online shopping. But there is so much more than that.
I wonder what the future holds for us and the Internet, and where we will be in another five years time. If services like Google Earth are anything to go by, the future is going to be pretty amazing stuff.
Google Earth combines the power of Google Search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips.
• Fly to your house. Just type in an address, press Search, and you’ll zoom right in.
• Search for schools, parks, restaurants, and hotels. Get driving directions.
• Tilt and rotate the view to see 3D terrain and buildings, or look up to explore the sky
• Save and share your searches and favorites.
