Google Maps Points To The Wrong House, and THIS Happens…
A construction company in America has made a massive mistake, colossal in fact. An employee of the construction company sent screenshots to the workers involved of the house they thought they were supposed to be bulldozing to the ground. In actual fact, the house they were meant to knock flat was round the corner, on a totally different street. The homeowners returned to find their home in absolute pieces and is till to receive an apology from the demolition company. Google Maps shows the house that was meant to be demolished as the wrong address, so in theory you could say the employee who sent the screen shots wasn’t at fault. Google Maps has corrected the issue since, but what a massive mistake to make!
Do you rely too much on Google? Have you been lost in translation or wandering the streets thanks to inaccurate info from Google? We rely heavily on Google these days, using it for pretty much anything and we tend to more often than not believe what we read without questioning it. It’s pretty daft, really isn’t it? Gone are the days of being holed up in a library with textbooks and encyclopaedias. That’s kinds sad too. What do you guys think?
