Google plus 2001
Op-Ed Contributor - Google’s Earth - NYTimes.com:
"We have yet to take Google’s measure. We’ve seen nothing like it before, and we already perceive much of our world through it. We would all very much like to be sagely and reliably advised by our own private genie; we would like the genie to make the world more transparent, more easily navigable. Google does that for us: it makes everything in the world accessible to everyone, and everyone accessible to the world. But we see everyone looking in, and blame Google."


William Gibson has some interesting thoughts on Google in his article from the NYT. Are we all now citizens of Google, watchers and the watched?
