Why do I "waste my time" on Google Maps?

Hello my name is Itai. I love traveling and I also love information.
I work as a project manager in an IT company, and as someone who deals with the information, I found Google Maps a very effective tool to use and I realy liked the idea of people from all around the world contributing their knowledge and experience to others through Google Maps without any profit.
This method of creating a database reminded me the development of the first dictionary, so I was fascinated by the thought that I can also take part in this activity of making information available to all the people in the world.
That’s how I found myself taking pictures of opening hours at different sites, taking pictures of restaurants, writing reviews and recommendations on places like business, restaurants and tourist sites, just because of the desire to contribute information to others the same way others contribute information that helps me!
For the last few years adding information to Google Maps has become part of what I am and part of my life routine and I love it.

Thanks !
Itai
