Is Google Trying to Rule the World?

Google will be the most powerful company in the world in the very near future.  I have no basis for this opinion other than a few articles I have read and my own experiences with the website, but think about it.   Google is purchasing more companies in an effort to move into every technological avenue possible just so they are part of the next big thing.

Paul Allen, another Blogger, came up with seven reasons why Google will rule the world.  His two main ideas are that Google’s top decision makers are unmatched.  Their owners and developers jump at the chance at investing, purchasing, or creating new ways to get their advertisements out there for everyone to see.  However, the most important reason Allen gave why Google will succeed is the way they run their own company.  They allow their own workers to dedicate 20% of their work week to pet projects on company time.  The owners feel that their own workers ideas and inventions will lead them to greater success.

This is an ingenious idea as most workers only focus on their day to day duties, then come home and freelance their ideas to other companies.  Google feels why compete against their own when they have great minds working for them already.  A truly innovative philosophy that more companies should incorporate into their own business models. 

If you haven’t noticed Google is everywhere and is only growing.  I would not be surprised if one day there is a class taught in high school and college on how to use Google to its fullest extent, because we are just scratvching the surface with its capabilities.  The future is going to be very kind to Google.
