I'll never get fully used to the existence of Google Earth, the way my great-grandparents never got over electricity entering their lives. It will remain a source of neverending marvel for me forever.

It's unbelievable to think one can walk the streets of Pompeii, of Rome, of Tokyo from one's very home.

Today's kids will grow up thinking it is perfectly normal, but it is isn't. Google Earth has changed my life, my conception of earth.
