The future of Google

According to the TIMESONLINE, the search engine giant Google wants to conquer the world by holding people 's information. How is going to do that? Google has developed a three steps plan to make the impossible real.

1) Become the "universal search engine"

According to Google's head of search products and user experience, Marissa Mayer: 'the web is actually very limited and primitive". Currently it is mostly a summary of words, image and music. Google wants to innovate web's content and be the only Search Engine to provide comprehensive search facilities. They currently develop a new software that will have the capacity to scan millions of news sources of information to give richer search results.

2) Make search personal

But Google doesn't just improve the search service, they also want to make search more personalized. With iGoogle, the internet user's search is monitored and web surfing history will be recorded. Signing up to iGoogle on your PC or even using your mobile, you can search anything you want at anytime and anywhere but don't forget as good as this sounds - they can also turn this around and monitor every step you do. It become a real personal service but also a way to be traceable.

3) Developing the concept of "Cloud Computing'

Step 3 to put Google's dream into practice is implementing the concept of "cloud computing". The big G wants internet users to create all of their documents online in order to work on them by using Google's web based software. The user will then be able to store these documents online on Google's vast global network of servers instead of doing it on their computer. This will be possible via Google Apps, Google's own web based program recently launched. Internet user will be able to create a password, to protect word files and spreadsheets, in order to edit and store them online .

By pursuing this dream Google will record 'everything' we do online and store this information. So be careful, Google is watching you !
