Well, I guess people will need to start doing what civilization has done for centuries before the internet. Actually go out, explore, meet real people face to face and have conversations. It'll be quite an adjustment for the young folks but leads to a more enriching life.

My statement still stands and it's accurate..... "Actually go out, explore, meet real people face to face and have conversations".

Since google and others are all about making money, how are they going to make money from making people "Actually go out, explore, meet real people face to face and have conversations"?

No big deal. I had never heard of the app, always used street view from within maps.

From what I can see that is what Google would prefer. In this current cost cutting environment why have multiple versions of the same thing.
