Week 6 Catching up with depeche modular

Finally writing my blog about course week #6 during this week (#7) due to unforeseen circumstances here in the unvirtual real(ity) world.

One of these blended technologies that have been predicted, but as of yet have not come to fruition, is a combination of Google maps' new "streetview" program (wherein you get 360 degrees panoramic streetside views of areas/cities, like Manhattan, for example) with in-car GPS programing so when you drove around in the city you would not only get the usual audible directions, such as "left on the corner of 66th and 5th", but also, on the GPS screen you would see that there's a bagel shop on that corner. After all, most of us really navigate, and drive, predominantly based on visual cues, not necessarily street names.
