An incredible number of people believe Google Maps satellite imagery is live. That's less about people being dumb as it is about people believing technology literally has no effective limitations. In other words, for most people, technology is literally magic.

Obviously they are updated more frequently than paper map, but every few years, not constantly.
But other people might not find those things obvious.
But if it helps you to feel superior..
My favourite is TV and films where somebody knows someone in a government agency and asks them to move a satellite.
Maybe Google Earth. Is that still a thing?

I don't understand how *insert complex system* works. I probably still wouldn't ^really understand if it was explained to me.
But because multiple people that I trust tell me that's how it works, I trust it..
That's how religion works.
