People are irate because Google is driving around in vans capturing digital images, putting them on the internet. It’s called Google Street View.

That’s just the start.

I’d posted something previously on Microsoft Live Labs Photosynth technology. But to see an update click PLAY or watch the short video clip on YouTube.

If you like Photosynth, you’ll be even more amazed by software called Seadragon, also acquired by Microsoft.

Check THAT DEMO at the beginning of a longer video from this year’s TED conference linked on ModernHiker.

The future’s going to be really, really cool.

No privacy of any kind, though.
