Comments on: Geotagging gone wild http://www.teach42.com/2006/09/01/geotagging-gone-wild/ Education and Technology by Steve Dembo Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:28:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tabitha http://www.teach42.com/2006/09/01/geotagging-gone-wild/comment-page-1/#comment-290685 Tabitha Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:05:53 +0000 http://www.teach42.com/2006/09/01/geotagging-gone-wild/#comment-290685 We may be beyond help regarding vanishing privacy. Maybe if someone wants to control and manipulate us, they can do it well enough already. May as well relax into it, give up and enjoy all this virtual living within the technology. All this online time, though, reminds me of Issac Asimov's "Caves of Steel". People no longer got together because everyone lived on their own private planet, but was able to view each other in virtual parties as often as they wished. We are doing more of that, ourselves, by living vicariously through the stored experience of the photo and video archives of other lives rather than our own direct involvement. Our choice, of course, but are we becoming more physically isolated and weaker in health while only feeding our heads and hearts in isolation? I'm a prime example of this, but I don't think I'm looking through a fish-eye. We may be beyond help regarding vanishing privacy.

I’m a prime example of this, but I don’t think I’m looking through a fish-eye.

Using it makes my Flickr usage more interesting. I have tried Zonetag and I must say that is really amazing and captivating. Using it makes my Flickr usage more interesting.

It is really nice to see your pictures that can be associated with other networks. I like taking picture but I haven't had a flicker or anything. I would really like to try this one now.

Undeniably it's a fantastic concept and has the key advantages of beginner friendliness and longevity. It's refreshing to see technology being used in ways that encourage an active lifestyle. All too often it promotes sedentary, solitary activity which is generally to the detriment of a child's development. Children can always be persuaded to take exercise if the incentive of an exciting new gadget is present and Geotagging really capitalises on this fact. I have to say it doesn't even feel like exercise- the emphasis is on discovery and having fun and the health benefits that come with this are an added bonus!

Geotagging rocks - especially if you are going somewhere new and want to check out some pics beforehand. I’m not surprised at all.

I have about 1000 pictures in hi-def of locations around national and public waterways in Montana. As a former Google Earth junky, I’m super excited about this and contributing to it.

It works better in a community: the more people use it, the easier and more fun it is for everyone to use. ZoneTag helps you to share tags, location and photos.

I have not used it yet, and it is my first time to use such. In any case, I am hoping that it will work out well for me. I am exited how this Zonetag works.
