Google Earth is 20 years old. I may have mentioned that in the title.
Anyway, it’s not something that I use a lot, but it is something that I when I do use, I think is extremely useful. And they’ve released a whole… “thing”… showing how Google Earth can be used to measure change over time – where the time is… 20 years.
They say:
When we launched Google Earth 20 years ago, our mission was simple, yet powerful: give people a new way to understand our world. Since then, millions of people have been asking Earth questions, big and small, about the planet where we live. It helps us uncover new insights, tell powerful stories, and see the world — and our impact on it — in a whole new light.
Plenty of interesting projects on that link above to see just how useful Google Earth can be.
Go take a look.
