Hey Everyody!

In Social Studies we are working on Current Event articles where every class some one has to present a important incedent that had happend over the last month.

Here is my summary of the article:

As you all know Google Earth is a downloadable program where you can see the Earth from a range of 15cm to 15m. Google is also making their program more modern by having 3D effects.

Though, citing security in India has been worrying about the details in Google Earth, therefore, Google has been having meetings with the Indian government to discuss which sites are too sensitive to show on Google Earth. They included military basses and government buildings.  The government is making a list of the places that are too sensitive to be viewed via Google Earth. Many of these areas have already been blurred on Google Earth. Google said that they are glad that they have talked it over, though there has not been any decisions made yet, and that they will continue talking until the problem is solved. The Indian government wants to blur some sights because they are scared that terrorists can get too much detail from it.

The images that Google Earth uses are often made by the government or other agencies, and they already blur them before giving them to Google. In exceptional circumstances Google Earth will also blur images. Because Google Earth has blurred some sights, it has encouraged more people to spot those locations.
