No place to hide
We may be the last generation of Americans who become uncomfortable as companies such as Google roll out products like Google Street View.
At last count more than 50 U.S. cities have seen most of their street-level panoramas made available on the Web. See the full list by checking out the Street View entry on Wikipedia.
Instead of showing concern, the media simply watch the arrival of Street View as inevitable. Or in some cases, as at the snarky blog Valleywag, simply find nutty irony in the gaps in the Google Street View universe. (See this entry.)
In 15 years this will hardly grab any attention at all.
