FReepers who brand liberals as stupid should be wary....

I don’t see it. they made their money in software, they should stay there. Yes, “nerds” like new mechanical gadgets, but if they have commercial success with any such gadget, the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese or even the Europeans will have their own version out quickly. Then again, Google has a lot of $$$ to throw around.

Google’s an overgrown ad agency.
Yje only danger is that they will use their huge funds they recieved for tracking internet users for marketers to suppress development in fields like robotics.
Just the opposite of what this author says.

But that’s what big companies tend to do.

Google will become one of the most powerful corporations on Earth. And we know what Lord Acton would have said about that.

No, I don't. What would he have said?

Made a couple of stupid videos a while back and uploaded them to Youtube. I allowed the videos to be monetized (Ads showing). Checked the Google Adsense right before Christmas...Getting a direct deposit for $299 in a few weeks.

A person would be wise to look into investing in automation/robotics. It is the wave of the future.

So, they buy up every robot company with anything that interests the government. Then, continue to develop until all of their robots are in major positions in defense. Once you are well entrenched in the military and other defense department groups, just start twisting the wrench. Google could demand whatever they want from the government. It would be hard to reverse the robot decisions then.

The government should just avoid doing business with Google. But, alas, I believe that ship sailed long ago.
