Google Earth

Google Earth is just basically the actual world but in a small form. The way they did it was to get pictures from all around the world and get them to Google Earth creators. By the time they got started they thought this might take a few years. But it didn’t so when they got the entire picture loaded up to the data bass they made it look 3-D. The way they did it was by using a high-tech machine called “The 3-D modifier”. They let it load up to the system for about a few days and when they checked it they thought it would turn out bad but it turned out better then they excepted. In the lab they were making a few changes and all the errors in the Google Earth system.

SimCity

SimCity is about the way you want the world to be like. It’s your choice to make them have a small town or big. You have to make the monthly cost for them to be even and make sure they don’t leave your town. It is like a virtual version of Google Earth but this way it is your choice to control what happens and where. I think of this game as an experience that lots of people might love to play because of boring old Google Earth. You can make it the way you want and this is why people love this game.

Google Earth
The way Google Earth works is you can type in the place you want to learn about or just look at it for fun. Either way it is easy all you have to now if what the place your looking for is named and spelled right. Google Earth will find it for you in seconds and while your waiting you can be looking at how neat it is to watch the Global maps spin. The other thing about Google Earth is that how it was graphical perfectly into perfect place and not even one tree off. Like how the forest is so perfect and the oceans and lakes and things are so perfect.

SimCity

The way SimCity works is you pick if you want to stay by water or just land. Then you start out with 100,000$ and you have to build houses and make the income taxes and stuff like that set up. Then all you have to do is make building like schools ,hospitals ,police stations ,fire halls. The object of this game is to build a enormous city and get everything under control. If you run out of money you lose the game and have to restart and make a new city.

Google Earth

My thoughts about Google Earth are how it was made and the detail put into it and how much technology it took to make it so perfect. This is a way to discover other parts of the world you never even heard of before. I like this program because when I want to look at the places of world cause I think they are really cool.

SimCity

My thoughts about SimCity are I think the way this game was designed were pretty cool because you are the master of this town like a mayor or the government. You have to make place for people live and make places so they have a place to work. There is so many things for you to do in this game and is hard after a while because everything is everywhere.

Peace Out!!
