TED Archive | How EarthViewer changed the way we see the world -- from space | Dan Dubno @TEDTalks | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this forward-looking talk from TED2002, producer and technologist Dan Dubno demos EarthViewer (the precursor known as Google Earth): a web-based way of exploring the world from a satellite's view. He envisions how this tool would transform our understanding of the planet as he zooms into aerial imagery obtained by CBS News, giving a glimpse of some of the world's then-most secretive places.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
