A friend of mine recently moved to a new city, and shared with me street view pictures of the locality. Intrigued, I checked it out myself, and it was truly a stunning experience. Not just the overall layout, I could literally zoom to my friend's windows, check out the footpath tiles, and the detailed markings on the roads! In one view, I could even make out the makes and models of cars of neighbours, and in one case, even a couple talking to each other outside their garage!
Some areas even have live webcam feeds.
What next? 24x7 web based monitoring?
How far will technology go, and what will be the concept of individual privacy, 5-10 years from now?
