 balthazarus says: Many of Google’s brightest ideas come from the attempt to fulfil its almost hopelessly ambitious mission: “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Upcoming projects will go some way to achieving this goal. Amongst them is Google Book Search. For the past few years, Google have been scanning the pages of books in order to eventually release them online and make them fully searchable. Professor Angell argued that Google’s track record is admirable, but problems could come in the future. He said: “If it is a choice between Google holding my details and the British Government holding my details, I’d give them to Google every time. I see more nuisance value than evil intent.” But he added: “The moment any organization gets too vast, hubris takes over and then they fail.” I was Googling before most even knew it existed and I have a deep appreciation for what they have accomplished in such a short span--while their medium constantly changes and evolves. But, they are not benign and currently I have reason to believe they are corrupt when it comes to their ad revenue. My business has Google sponsored search. Our industry is dead, deader than dead, yet miraculously our ad costs are increasing and they say that MORE customers are accessing my ads. Rubbish. The number of companies searching for my products has plummeted, no way increased. The only increase is in my monthly Google bill. After I noticed that you can SEE IN MY GARAGE with their street view, it... Technology has advanced to a point where now there is no privacy, and its only going to get worst as time goes on. Lack of privacy is the price we pay for advancement. there are pros and cons in everything. |
