Google Geography: a new perspective in learning

From a meager funding of $100,000 in 1998 to becoming a $150 billion company (Wikipedia), Google on one hand may have exceeded its business expectations.  But on the other, its dominance and prominence as an innovator of technology continue to excel.  Google revolutionized the way we surf the internet, it dazzled us the way we look at our world, from above, beyond, and every conceivable angles.  Google’s technology has become invaluable tools of learning in the classrooms across the world.  Once such learning is geography.  With 3D images and interactive capabilities, Google Earth is now home to educators, collaborators, scientists, and technologists who have the ability to design and model data into their relative fields. 
The following PSA narrates why geography is important to learning about our past, present, and future.
