Google Earth In 4D

Rockgod writes to tell us about Google Earth's latest expansion. From the article: "Google skipped right past the third dimension and landed directly in the fourth (time) by offering historical maps on Google Earth. Now you can travel back in time — for example, I am looking at the globe of 1790. Don't expect detailed high resolution photography from days gone by, but it's still interesting to see old maps overlaid on the satellite imagery of today." I suppose a link to Earth4 would have been good.

Re:today's maps will be historical

You really think all those will happen, or that there will BE a Google Earth in 100 years? The suburbs will grow, the oceans will rise, the deserts will expand, and the world will continue its downward descent into barbarism as China and the Middle Eastern countries mop up the US and Europe, only to collapse under the weight of their own savagery. In 100 years, it will be illegal to have a computer.
