Most geotagged photos of 2013
Today, Google released an interactive ‘hotspots’ world map of the the most geotagged photos of 2013. Fascinating and a little addictive. One day soon, everything in the world that can be photographed, from every conceivable angle, will be available on a database somewhere. Possible applications of this technology? Future archaeologists will be able to build very accurate 3D simulations of our early 21st century world – a kind of Star Trek holodeck for future time tourists. Just a thought.

Photographic time capsules seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment.

Photographer unknown. Click on the link for more details.
