I’ve said it many times, they’re Skynet.
Google takes on Windows with Chrome OS – CNN.com
… So I’ve said this several times, I’m not even the only one. Google is Skynet, Alpha Release.
Look at their products. They dominate search engines, which is a cornerstone of information, and information is power.
They already (with a handy little submission from you) track your location 24/7. (Google Latitude)
They are cataloging all human knowledge bit by bit. (Book cataloging and digitizing)
Their computers help you shop, eat, sleep, read, and I’m sure they’d help you breathe. They modify your social life and they alter your perception of the world. There are already sites where people “explore and travel” using Google Mapview and Google Earth.
They have applets for almost everything, they manage your calendar and read your email.
And now they are talking of releasing an operating system that will emphasize Cloud Computing and other such centralized initiatives.
They’re Skynet. We’re doomed. Once there’s google controlled robots we will be exterminated like the archiac tools we are. ^_^;;;;
