Advantages: You get to look at any place in the world, and quite a few that are not.

Disadvantages: None, you get to mess about with the whole earth

Tell anybody in the world 50 years ago that in 50 years time you will be able to see satellite photos of any place in the world, mars and the moon for free on a computer, and some might ask what a satellite photo is. But when they knew, people would ask what the hell you were smoking. But don't worry, it is true!

Google earth allows you to visit any place on earth. Any. You can explore your home town, or where your friend lives. It is that simple. You can get a good quality photo from 50 feet up I think it is. You can see your house just as it was when the picture was taken. I am going to scotland next week, and I could check out the exact house where I was staying using a postcode. Its that simple

But google earth has expanded into much more. You can now get a street view of citys, and depending where you live you might honestly see yourself walking out the house on one of the pictures. You now have the chance to look at the seafloor. I can look at the weather, and how light/dark it is in different places of the world. I can look at buildings and mountains in 3D. You can honestly do so much, it is amazing

Google earth is a amazing thing, prehaps the most advanced software ever. If you do not have it, ask yourself why. Because, it is fun spinning the world around

Summary: A must have software.
