Google and the World

Google has revolutionized the way we live, breath, work, play, and think. It is a modern marvel in itsel allowing the world to be merely a click away from the common human, which, since the dawn of civilization, has only been possible for the overly powerful. The advent of the public library system gave way for such advancements as the university and the overall boosting up of human existence from merely surviving, to truly having a sense of existence. Since the invention of the internet we can now have the option of reaching out into the world and truly creating a mark for ourselves, and with Google, we now have a truly democratic system that allows anyone to know anything.

Now that Google has become a corporate leader and indespensible tool of everyday life, Google now has, and is using, the option to comandeer the landscape for the common good. Recently, Google has offered 10 million dollars for the invention of a usable moon rover in an attempt to land the private sector on the moon. This will open the doors to not only a faster affordable space traveling to other worlds while also giving way for the same thing for government agencies, this continues the important tradition that google seems to have taken up of giving oppritunities to those who otherwise may not have had it without the persistence of Google and its beneficiaries.

Also, Google has taken a lead into the managing and creation of the business atmosphere with the recent proposition of universal privacy policies that would streamline the process of protecting consumer security and peace of mind, while also giving less of a reason to resist the changing landscape that is the internet. The biggest fear on the internet that has consumed the news and our every thought is privacy. With the application of universal privacy standards and encryption, less people would be scared of signing on and therefore web induced enlightenment will proceed. Overall, Google is a good company with far reaching goals. It is one of the few companies in the world who aren't driven purely by money, but the common good, for which Google was founded upon. Hopefully this budding company will continue on its journey with this same viewpoint and shine a beacon of light upon other, less trustworthy corporations.
