Google: Just the Digital Version of Honest Abe and His Cabin
September 28, 2018
I read “You Can Now Explore Google’s Original Garage Headquarters in Street View.” The image in the write up and the virtual tour reminded me of my first visit to Abraham Lincoln’s cabin. Now the Lincoln cabin was modest, and, despite the fact that I was a wee lad, I recall:
- It looked pretty tidy for a log cabin
- I had an ice cream bar
- There were lots of people.
I assume that the virtual tour of Google’s “first” office, excluding the dorm room and Stanford computer lab, the garage is authentic.
There are some differences:
- Clicks are tracked
- The scene is antiseptic, tidy, clean, and organized for a tiny garage
- No ice cream.
Enjoy the tour. Animatronics may be coming to a Disney theme park soon. History is “realer” when it is digital.
