Freedoms

Google offers freedom as a result of this incorporation of different media formats. One can almost imagine being able to fly anywhere in the world in nanoseconds when first accessing the interface of Google Maps. It shows high resolution satellite images of the entire United States and various other countries. Indeed there is something childishly empowering in zooming around the world at super-hero speeds, and the views of cities from street level are remarkably complete. I was even able to "drive" through a cemetery in Juneau. Google also allows customization of maps, through its my maps feature, and minor changes in most addresses' locations can be made without approval from the administrator.
