Google every road in the world

Latchy

News item tonight on itv said google plans to have a picture of every road in the world soon .So the little humble roads we were born and rared on ( in my case anyway ) will be on view for all and sundry to see.

Cant wait , have to get the ol anorack out of dry cleaners soon

Now, what's their definition of a road these days?

talk about surveillance, the world is becoming so integrated, knowledge is easily accessible and increasingly complexified in its arrangements, and then...the grid! I eagerly await the arrival of the noosphere.
