The new Google Maps are wicked cool. Now real places can be hyperlinked. Google is already an mind-boggling index of virtually everything in the world. Now that this information has been physically mapped, words like 'cyberspace' don't seem so strange.

Add this together with wireless networks and the widespread avaiablity of GPS-enabled devices, and we may be interacting with our digital environment at every step. The engineers have already envisioned the implications.
