In the late 1990s, Google was a search engine, nothing more, nothing less. Today, they are a media machine, organizing the Internet for the common man and making a user’s computer that much more efficient.<\/p>\n

Take this week for example – Google Desktop 2 and Google Talk have been released. Picasa, Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Toolbar have all been released in previous months.<\/p>\n

Of course there is Google Mail, or Gmail it’s called, which offers an ever-increasing amount of personable searchable storage space for your email.<\/p>\n

In 2004, they set out on a mission to digitize many (or all) of the print media from famous libraries; Library of Congress, NY Public Library, etc.<\/p>\n

Where are they going? Well, the right answer is no one knows for sure because Google is a constantly evolving force. Where do I and others think they are going? They are going to be organizing EVERYTHING. Making it available. Making searching instantaneous.<\/p>\n

According to their website, “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”.<\/p>\n

I have a good feeling that’s an understatement. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
