The most extraordinary Webcam!
I have one of my accounts at the iGoogle site, which for some of you can be tranlated into a place where I can load up widgets of a million varieties, and either play small games, translate text, read specific articles, etc. One of the ones I'm most fond of is the Webcam. In this widget, I get a "snapshot" from a webcam somewhere else in the world. Since these webcams are often put up by a city tourism group, or city official city's administration, most of the shots have some element of prime scenery. There are also companies who put them up to highlight their products, boost their sales, whatever.
So tonight, I went to Heidleberg, Germany, Saskatchawan (prob misspelled!), Thessaly, Greece, Thailand and Ludlow, UK. All in the span of three minutes!
I like the fact that I can even look up to see a town or country, ot any place in the world.
It's amazing. Just the concept of being anywhere, anyplace, anytime is phenomenal. A century ago, we were just going for rides with an internal combustion engines. Then....well, we haven't stopped making strides since. Where will be be in another cenury? Will we be inhabiting the moon, Mars, or some distant planet? Will we have found a way to travel between dimensions in parallel worlds? Or will we still be stranded, on the third rock from the sun?
