Google Earth is such an amazing program. The whole world is literally at your fingertips. You are able to pinpoint locations with an aerial view. You are able to get up to date information on current events around the world. You can even watch YouTube videos from Google Earth!
Google Earth can assist businesses by giving them the ability to track down the locations of future markets. They can view the surrounding areas to get an idea of the success rate of a potential market. They can find competitors in potential markets and even map out strategic locations for business operations. They can do this all from the convenience of their office, which saves them money on travel expenses.
One current event going on in Egypt is the political crisis. Protesters have revolted against the current regime and are forcing the President of Egypt out of his office. This has caused much civil unrest and has made travel to and from the area extremely dangerous.
Another crazy thing that happened in Egypt as a result of the protests was a country-wide blackout. The government completely shut down the internet for everyone who lived in Egypt. It was incredible to see the graphs where it showed internet usage. It dropped to zero and stayed at zero for a long period of time. It was the first country-wide blackout of our time.
