Has Google gone too far

just woke up from my nap
ARghh, can't stand it when I sleep soo long
I was planning on starting to do some hws
but nooooo....

Went to holmesglen for dinner with C,N,P
korean food and it is soooo GOOOD
then hang at Maccas's playground!
We're climbing around and I start to realise
what a BIG girl I am already
I barely fit through the tunnels
I miss the good old days when I was eleven

Anw, had debating meeting in the morning
Topic : That google has gone too far
I saw quite a few books in the library relating to Google
and I thought they were seriously interesting
I should have so borrow it

I forgotten the name of one of the good books
but there were The Google Story
and
How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture
By John Battelle

Relating to this topic, I guess Google went abit to far
in a sense that now, it's the Big Guy
and everyone relies on it
When you open your Internet Explorer
is Google the first thing you type in?

It monopolises the whole Internet industry
and where does that leaves its competitors?
Oh, and not denying the fact that Google is turning its attentions to the mobile industry
Even my LG viewty cover box has Google, Youtube and Blogger logo in the front

Seeing that I AM currently using Blogger
which was bought over by Google
I would absolutely disagree that Google has gone too far
So what if Google Earth can take streetview?
Isn't that COOL?
The first time I search up my house
I was like WOAH, that's amazing
shouldn't we celebrate and applaud such breakthrough rather than yap about invasion of privacy
when it's clearly not the case?

Can't help it if u stand in the way of the satellite
and ur picture are up on Google Earth
(omosh, I'm so unsympathetic)
It's like taking a photo of a group of friends
and a stranger happen to walk past at that point of time
Is that intrusion of privacy of that stranger, now that I have a photo of him/her?
The point is, you are not the subject of the google earth
but rather the infrastructure itself

To be honest, I seriously do not care whether it has gone too far or not
All the above is simply my random arguments for the debates
For and against
It's up to you to decide

I like using Google because it's simple and accessible
soo, it doesn't really affect me if it has gone too far
unless my picture suddenly pops up on Google Earth >.<

Omosh, I seriously hope I didn't offend anyone
esp Blogger xD
Please don't kick me out 0.O
