I have used google Earth for a while now I really enjoy the program you can look all over the world, check out the landscapes although it did freak me out when it took me into a zoomed view of my parents house and I saw my mother . Anyone else use it? my favourite feature is exploring the moon & the stars, I could play around with the galaxies for days. www.google.com/earth/index.html

You can actually see your mum?! I didn't know it could do that! Never really played around with it. Might have a go when I've got nothing to do.

I find it all a bit creepy honestly, I don't like that people could spy on anyone like that. I use Google maps a lot, you can still see everything but they are all photos that have been taken previously, not real time stuff. The moon and the stars bit would be fun to look at but I wouldn't be looking around the Earth.

Anything could be made creepy Beck, you can't see faces, they are blurred out you can only see houses, it isn't like someone is zooming in your window. I wouldn't call it spying, the government can keep tabs on you threw your phone & using your cell. Google earth is not real time, why would you think it is? that is illegal it is images put together to make up the earth .
I went all the way back to 1945 and saw my home town in the 40's, it was quite remarkable.

You can do that? Go back in time? Jeez Nico you're teaching me all these cool new things about Google Earth. I'll have to play around with it a bit.

It's pretty neat, I love anything Historical related and it is quite mind blowing to see what the area looked like when My nan & papa were kids .
