The Lost City of Atlantis...Found by Google Ocean?

The above photo is from The Sun and the article I chose for this weeks post is from The Daily Mail.

Google Ocean, a feature on Google Earth, has been the subject of many conversations today. A British aeronautical engineer who was using the program reportedly found a"man made aerial map" under the ocean near the coast of Africa. It consists of many circuits and roadways and is about the size of Wales.

The lost city of Atlantis was first described by Greek philosopher Plato in 355 B.C. as a highly sophisticated city that sank into the ocean around 9600 B.C. The city had a diverse culture and even had hot and cold running water.

Representatives from Google state that it is not Atlantis and that it is a flaw/blemish in the program used to map the ocean and earth but others believe that this is a cover-up.

I'm not sure if i agree with this or not. I would really like to believe that Atlantis had been found by our advanced technology but along with technology still comes various flaws. I think it's a toss-up right now that requires even more technology in order to evaluate it.

I think this is significant because if we possess programs that are able to view these kinds of things from miles away, we have truly crossed a threshold into a new realm of technology. Google earth has also been able to view a sniper walking around in Pakistan and supposed andriods of the u.s. army. I'm not sure if this is true but imagine the possiblities if these statements were correct. Talk about an invasion of privacy...but that's the kind of problems that technology creates. Technology brings about the good and the bad but the way that individuals use it is what makes it valuable.
