GOOGLE MAPS LIVE 2020???

Taking into account the development of surveillance in the city by 2020, Google Maps is now a program that is able to run a live-feed.  This allows the Googler to view the area within 'real-time'. Although they are still being presented with a digital image and digital mapping of the area, they are now seeing what happens in that space at the exact time it occurs, which essentially includes the vector of time.  Will the boundaries of digital and 'real' mapping of our cities always be so blurred? Will there be any point in the future where there is a direct and obvious moment when the digital becomes the real or the real becomes the digital?
