Google Earth, Our Replica of the Natural world

A Replica of Natural world

I have been a couch potato for a long time Until recently, that I started the silent observer blog. During this period of gross inactivity, I dreamed of travelling to places, like a butterfly with broken wings. The google earth sounds perfect, for someone who like to do the traveling without any risks. It is a replica of the natural world. It doesn't need for you to take a bus, to see the Niagra falls, and take an aeroplane, to see Hindu Kush mountains. Not at all risky like flying in the sky. At the tip of your finger you have the Eiffel tower from every angle possible. Even if you are there in Paris, you would never see and collect so much information in your brain about the tower. Not at all possible to keep them over the years.

Satellite Image

In this sense, whoever made the google earth is a genious. I am sure that started as a pet project of google, to make an artificial "earth" like the one we live in. I am sure there were a lot of objections, to the project early on. Like "Who is going to travel to all these places? and take photos, and use their spare time to upload this?". How are we going to make the money we invest? We are not "Selling" anything? These questions sound perfect objections and legitimate at the time of the early years of google earth. However, if you have read my article about a Shop, you would realise, google now owns a gigantic "Shop" called google Earth. Where everyone saves their values in the form of pictures, and videos, and locations. And there are enough people surfing around this artificial globle, who dream of travelling, judging the photos.

Google Street and Satellite Imagery

Consider how much they have expanded. My street is on the google earth. So called Google "Truck" has travelled in front of my house and now, I can show anyone exactly what it looks like. When I go somewhere, I check whether Google has been there, to see if the roads are "Good enough" for my car to go on. I can go back to the past, and see how everything looked like, 10 15 years ago, from satellite imaging. And even scientists use these images to study climate changes, animal migrations and even, for terrorists to plan their attacks and armies to defend their countries. Everyone finds a use for themselves in this gigantic database called google earth, and I am sure there are thousands of articles like these circling around and some people make a living out of it. Consider number of Youtube Channels showing google earth Photos.

Ah, the google earth is so big that it has come to my attention that it harbours the essential components of creating values out of nothing. Consider the fact, that there is no true "earth" in google earth. But there is one at the same time, at your fingertips, where you are able to move and "See" even spend hours and hours travelling and making Memories. If you would like to know more about this concept, follow my article on creating values.

Our Earth

Take home Message

It is absurd, to think how imagination of humans go, even to replicate nature, in 3D world. So, what are you going to do about it? What is the lesson The Google Earth have proven to us over the years? If I try to put it into words I would say, to create human values you need to find a way to preserve human consciousness, in whatever form that you are familier with. Write down our thoughts in that everything book, make it a habit to keep a dictaphone where you go and save your thoughts, or take photographs, videos or start making collections, do not worry if it doesn't look like a shop. You do not believe Me? That's fine, as "Facts do not cease to exist, because they are ignored" :-) Atlease you have read the article if you are here now!
