the Internet first
EARTH google
When the Internet first came into use, no one really knew
just what it was, what it could do, or even what to do with
it. However, in a few short years, the possibilities soon
became obvious. Suddenly, everyone had access to a world
of information, from databases to dictionaries and online
libraries.
Then the unthinkable happened. With the touch of a
button, we could tune into not only a world of information,
but also the world itself. Google Earth is perhaps one of the
most incredible technological applications of the Internet,
whose importance we haven’t yet fully understood.
Think about it. Some 100 years ago, people had just
begun to use the telephone. The car and aeroplane were
slowly coming into use. For most people, the idea of
intercontinental travel and communication was similar to
a modern day person considering a day trip to the Moon.
Knowledge of the Earth was then limited to the globe
sitting on an office desk or the world map put up on the
school wall.
But now, everything has changed. Through Google Earth, we
can actually see our planet from outer space. We can find
our exact location through a simple search, quickly travel to
the Black Sea, pass over the Egyptian pyramids, and look in
wonder at the Himalayas - all within a matter of minutes.
Indeed, the world has become much smaller. We are no
longer individuals living in isolated countries. We are now a
global network of human beings waking up to a future single
community. Google Earth is just one indication, one symptom
of what is to come. It reveals the history of humanity, of our
planet, of our Earth. It also reveals our future responsibility,
our togetherness and the need for commitment to care for
this, our home.
Even more exciting is the fact that Google Earth has expanded
to include a ‘window’ into the universe. The Google Sky
application looks into the stars, offering a telescopic look at
the various solar systems, constellations and galaxies found
in space. Now even the sky is not the limit. Humanity can
look even further away.
