I was doing was trying to spread the words out hoping that as, that my colleagues and I could figure out ways to use this spread out stuff. So, that's ten year ago. We'll zoom into this--I know I'm over the five minutes, but I just, I am excited to share this with
And I found some of these. Zooming around, working with all these puppies from six weeks to six months.
I'm also into just really, like list making. I, like um, the things that you kind of, that are out there, that you maybe don't see right offhand and you know just, there's a book called "Zoom ," where, you know, you zoom in really close and then you zoom out really far. And so sort of the idea of that, and um, tigress chugging beer, that's an element that happens too. Anyway, I'll just go back to some background. I grew up in Kansas City
And we found out about this through a team who was working with the city and county of San Francisco on this problem of Churn in food stamps. I zoomed out. So this is a very short line.
And I found some of these. So zooming around, mostly didn't even take pictures.
In another case of Aceh in Indonesia, where the guerrilla forces have been fighting for 30 years, the GAM. They zoomed out, not because they were scared of Mandela being killed, but they didn't want the other intelligence agencies to know,
I was doing was trying to spread the words out hoping that as, that my colleagues and I could figure out ways to use this spread out stuff. So, that's ten year ago. We'll not zooming ? Oh please. Oh, it's still, it's a very big file and it's still reading in.
and individual passion and immigration there are stories about education stories about technology of course zooming from uh the printing press all the way up through spell check and texting there are stories about the battle between authoritarianism and democracy the idea the very idea of right and wrong uh and on and on but
The only thing that I really have any issues with is when I'm looking at pictures or a website. When you guys zoom in to your smartphones, you use your-- forgive me for not knowing the proper terminology for the said fingers that are used, but I believe it's your thumb and your pointer finger.
to do this kind of project at this size. So if you zoom into the Northern Great Plains, you'll see that it touches about five states and two provinces of Canada. On that little blue spot is the best spot, for a variety of reasons, and it just happens to be up in Northeastern Montana is where it is.
So let's start here in the Himalayas and go for a little ride. As we zoom out, when Eratosthenes, over 2,000 years ago, first figured out the size of this great ball, Earth, that we live on, people were pretty shocked by how big it was, that it was actually 40,000 kilometers all the way around.
And that's actually one of the more exciting areas of active research today. But we can zoom in. And so for those of you that have very good vision, and because we have fabulous projectors here at Google, you may see a tiny, tiny red dot.
And this is a map where we can zoom in all the way to 30 meters per pixel. So if we zoom in to the Amazon rainforest, for example, we'll see a lot of these red areas down below, which are places where the forest has been going away. The bright green areas are places where the forest was there both at the beginning and also the end of the sequence.
So I can switch back and forth between showing 1992 and 2012. We can zoom into Europe here and see the difference. You can see that by in large 2012 is brighter.
Places of blue are places where we're decreasing the lights. And perhaps we can zoom in here to a really blue area. And if we turn it of for a moment and you look-- see here's Poland.
So lots of really interesting things you can see in this map. I want to zoom into the United States. And you'll see places where there's a lot of growth around the urban areas.
let me show you kind of what came out of that. I'm going to zoom out of this map and make it full screen here. Do you remember that the cloud-free mosaic that was built out of all the Landsat scenes?
So where kind of a normal Google Maps or Google Earth you can zoom in and see something, here we can zoom in and see it change. So let's zoom in, for example, to Southwestern US. This is Las Vegas.
So you see over the 29 years here, Las Vegas is growing a lot. And we can zoom in even further and see kind of in great detail what's happening. We can see the suburbs forming and expanding outwards.
Let's move down to South America where we were looking at some of the deforestation analysis. Let's zoom in kind of as far as Landsat will let us go. We're in the Brazilian state of Rondonia.
You can see a small town is forming in the middle of the image here. Let's zoom out a bit. So now we're seeing maybe a quarter of the Brazilian state of Rondonia.
But just keep in mind that deforestation is not happening everywhere, but it's happening a lot of places. Let's zoom out even further. Now we can clearly see the Amazon River.
Lake Urmia is much, much larger-- I mean, Aral Sea is much larger than Lake Urmia, but the same thing is happening. So we have-- we zoom out of it. We have these agricultural areas where most of the water's being diverted.
We have these agricultural areas where most of the water's being diverted. Now let's zoom in on it to one corner of the agriculture here. And this is a place where you sort of reach a peak of the irrigation.
You can see incredible amounts of land being added. You can zoom in here and watch. Let's move a bit south to the Pearl River Delta.
And you've heard some fairly high profile problems with that. Now let me zoom out of it. That thing we started off is just there.
And now we're seeing kind of it's everywhere. I'll zoom out some more. You can see it's the expanse of mountaintop removal.
Let's move to Alberta, Canada, and look at some of the things happening around the tar sands. We're going to zoom in to Tesso Nilo, which was made somewhat famous by the recent Showtime climate change series.
Let's move to Alberta, Canada, and look at some of the things happening around the tar sands. We can zoom out and take a look at other places.
Let's move to Alberta, Canada, and look at some of the things happening around the tar sands. As we zoom in here and grab the animation slide, and we go through just the past few years, you'll see all the fracking that's
Let's move to Alberta, Canada, and look at some of the things happening around the tar sands. So you zoom in a bit more, you see these are all on the roads.
Let's move to Alberta, Canada, and look at some of the things happening around the tar sands. So we can zoom in here and actually see on the satellite kind of what it must look like on the ground.
Let's move to Alberta, Canada, and look at some of the things happening around the tar sands. And as you zoom in, each tile is being built on the fly.
And so it's a crazy star. And if I zoom in, you can see that each one of those dots indeed is a galaxy.
And that, so you're really always in this mode of sort of autonomous and sort of remotely controlled. Then you zoom out a little bit, as we had to with these vehicles, and think about what's really going on. You have a ship out there on the ocean, and the vehicle dives maybe for a day and comes back, and then you take off the data, and you recharge batteries,
And later on, there came this blog post that actually nailed it down, exactly. And I want to zoom in exactly on what this blog post said. What it says is actually yes, people want to really apply continuous delivery and all these engineering techniques in their situation.
And everything they did was informed by how the other would respond. And we can zoom into Crimea.
And you zoom in and zoom in, and do that about 10 times you'll start seeing some streets.
If you zoom all the way out, as we've gone around the moon over the last four or five years, we've gotten this very
But then you zoom out and you realize, I'm climbing a 5.14 wet pitch.
And it zoomed in from outer space in that great zoom in-- and landed on nothing.
I want to just zoom in on two of these right now.
I think when we zoom out and look at this in a historical sense, we're going to look at this as a period of essentially world domination by Google and uninterrupted peace. 9/11 will
not mean to zoom in on Google in particular. I think there is this expectation that since so much of this infrastructure that is now used by digital activists all over the world
And we've zoomed in now to the top.
The camera man zoomed in on one of the hind legs, and it was slightly hocked.
And when I zoomed it up, enlarged it, the eye just fell apart.
And we zoomed the camera lenses in all the way we could to capture it, but that's how we were able to capture it.
This is the zoomed -in view.
We're zooming away, and away, and away from the Milky Way Galaxy.
