Google Earth

In the Google Earth version of the world you can fly anywhere in seconds. Roxie likes the idea that you can visit international sites with only a click of the mouse. We visited San Diego and Orange in California, Salt Lake City, Utah, Trenton, Michigan, Dublin and Paris in a matter of minutes. When we looked for our home in Marysville, there was only a hole where our house should have been. Google Earth is not completely current.

Avatars

Roxie and I had lots of laughs designing our avatar. Roxie was disappointed that they did not have any dog avatars. We still haven't figured out how to post our avatar to our blog.

Online Applications and Tools

I believe that online applications are a wave of the future. The real issues are not the apps and what can be offered, but security, privacy and confidentiality of the documents on the Internet. How hacker proof is the information that a company or individual puts out there?
