Last week google announced that google streetview Germany would be online later this year. Since then hell broke loose on the media. Something I can not understand at all. The german secretary of consumer protection, Ilse Aigner, seems to be on a personal crusade against google and other politicians assist her.
I can understand that people in this country are more sensitive with their private data because of 2 undemocratic regimes within the last 80 years which misused personal information in the most disgusting ways posssible. Google also has to hand in the personal wifi-data it collected. Besides that, every German got the right to object the publishing of the streetview fotos of the own house. That is something unique to Germany. Other countries just didn't care. Every other european country west of Germany has google streetview. What happened there? Do any numbers show that in these countries the burglaries skyrocketed beause thieves can now plan the escape routes when they rob a house? And why does Heinz Müller from Recklinghausen think that someone could be interested in his neat garden full of lawn gnomes or the wonderful homemade bobbin lace curtains...
The most ridicoulus thing i heard was a politician who said he has a friend in France and he could see on streetview that he didn't trim his bushes right so the next thing he did was to call him and tell him that. Aaaarghhhh...Congratulations Germany, these are the leaders you have!!!! The saddest thing is that these politicians inspire the paranoia of internet-resitant pensioners and they actually don't really know what they are talking about because grandson Kevin, Norman or Justin never shows them anything on the computer. The only thing he does is playing violent computer games. Something else that has to be prohibited!!! Hey Germany why don't you make a law against life? It is totally dangerous and you have a 100% death rate. That can't be tolerated in this country!!!!
Here in Germany you normally focus on the negative aspects of something new. Even if the positive aspects outperform the negative 99 to 1. There is a possible chance that something really bad can happen and so we have to fight it.
Germany has the best economic growth since 1990 now, does that make anyone happy??? Waewaewae... it won't be long and i don't feel anything in my pocket of this. Everything just gets more expensive, health insurance, food, etc.
Why do people have to complain all the time here? It makes me really depressed. Look arround people, we have the best living standard of all times in this country. Sure, we have problems but what about doing something against it and not just complain and complain and complain.
Enough negative things said. I am very happy that google streetview will come to Germany. I am looking forward to walk through streets i never were before and maybe never will be. It is fun to see and learn something new. Don't be so small-minded Germany, let something new come to your life.
