Global Visual Culture..

POL 389-401

Speaking of maps and of Google.. Go here...
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=51.492159,-0.19092&spn=0.005291,0.013937&sll=51.492140,-0.193028&layer=c&cid=12502927659667388442&panoid=c9UMhWP_MWm9U0L48xEjYw&cbp=13,291.8,,0,18.86&gl=US&t=m&cbll=51.492132,-0.192862&z=17
(I say it that way because they mention Google Earth.. this is Google Maps!)

Yeah. The inside of the TARDIS! On Google Maps! You can walk through it and look up close at everything! 

I would also like to jokingly point out that on page 396, it states that Las Vegas appeared in greater resolution because it was of great interest.. It looks pretty sharp to me.... :D

Anyway, this post was supposed to be about the reading!  ..Well, I thought the chapter was somewhat interesting.. Of course I know about how fast information spreads faster than it did. Details about the pictures of the moon, how GPS started, and facts about satellite were pretty cool though, in my opinion!

And-- again.. on page 401, "there are vast industries in television and film throughout the world that are not Hollywood or U.S.-based." Ha, yes, I know! The BBC makes the best shows..!
