Google Streetview

As I'm sure most of you know, Google is now offering a new service called Street View - associated with Google Maps. I've been fascinated by Google Maps - particularly the satellite view: I could see my own car parked in front of my house in the closest view of my neighbourhood. There was something cool, or different, about perceiving the world from above and I have often wondered if this had an effect on how we humans see ourselves. Well, now it's time for a new question: how do we see ourselves at a street level? Will Street View change our perception of space and what we do it public?
