Here is a link to a cnn news video about a new computer technology called "Augmented Earth." Basically it is a glorified version of Google Earth that lets people watch what is happening all over the world in real time. I don't think that it is avaliable to the public yet. What are your opinions on this topic? How Do you think the government would use it? Do you think maybe it would increase on terrorism or kidnappings? Does anyone think that this could possibly be beneficial? The technology seems to show everything from traffic and stadiums, to private property, residential homes, and parks that children are playing at.

If you want to find out more information, here is another link to a written article:
