I LOVE Google. So much to see and do. Google maps is incredible. It is so fun to look up an address, use that little yellow man in the top corner and see actual photos of a particular place. I had fun looking at homes from my childhood -- some unrecognizable. No surprise there, it is 40 years later. But imagine sitting in a library in Calgary and having a map bring you a picture of a home in Australia. Amazing.
I took a look at Google Books for this assignment. It's a pretty amazing tool. The titles I searched where there, some gave you the whole book, some just a preview. The preview in some cases is over 1oo pages. Lots of reviews, you can write your own review and nice blurbs on what the book is about. I wish they had something like this when I was in school. Of course we didn't we typed our papers on typerwriters then so this was unimaginable.
Google is just one more tool on the internet that makes the world feel so much smaller.
