I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid...........

A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But when I’m way up here

It’s crystal clear

That now, I’m in a whole new world with you

Well, I can't show you the world but GeoGeusser can!

Go to OpenGuessr - Let's explore the world!

Today's GrokIt:

What is an icon?

Among many definitions:

a graphic symbol on a computer display screen that represents an app, an object (such as a file), or a function (such as the command to save)

Icons can represent people as well.

Find an example of an icon and post it on Slack
