Google Brings Art From Famous Museums Onto Your Computer Screen

This article discussses Google's launch of a site where anyone can view famous paintings and other artifacts typically found within the confines of museums across the world in high-resolution on their computers. After reading this article, an important question to ask ourselves is whether the accessibility to these works of art on our personal computers lessens the EXPERIENCE one will now have in their presence. Everyone has different reasons for going to a museum, but typically we associate a museum experience with an individual quietly reflecting on the art and forming opinions internally. Yes, Google is bringing art to those people who may not have the opportunity to travel, for instance, to experience it---but at what cost to the value and experience we associate with that art? Is Google technology going too far?
