Activity I Will Never Get Bored Of
An activity I will never get bored of is using the 3D satellite feature on Google Maps to learn more about an area. From college campuses to city downtowns, this amazing piece of technology allows me to zoom, move, and examine the different parts of building all across the world. As an aspiring designer, when playing games such as Sims 4 and Minecraft, where I can unleash my creativity to create and design new buildings, using this 3D feature allows me to draw inspiration from building all around me. The details this satellite mode can capture is truly fascinating, from benches on the ground the every window on the building, I can see almost every aspect of the building and its' surroundings through this feature. I have found lots of fun using this feature by essentially giving myself a virtual tour of different college campuses, from the University of Texas to the University of Minnesota. Through this feature, I have found that the UT campus looks a lot better than UMN, something I am considering when thinking about which college I would like to attend. Here is an example of the usage of this satellite feature.

I can also use this feature to visit places anywhere on earth, from the Buckingham Palace shown above to other government buildings and famous landmarks. I truly love and obsess this Google Maps feature and can use it all day to explore every corner of our amazing planet.
