Google Earth is a holiday substitute?
A sentence in today’s Metro lifted itself off the page (page three, I think) and circled around my head, before smacking me across the cheeks, leaving me in stunned disbelief at the hopelessness of its writer. The sentence:
Thousands of people are shunning airport queues and heading instead for the increasingly 3D world of Google Earth.
It was near the beginning of a half-page feature on the product, the rest of which failed to attract my morning reading eyes as they instead searched for news based at least in part on reality. While Google Earth is indeed impressive, I doubt very much whether its introduction is causing airline bosses to rethink their strategies.
