In 2032, Google takes over the world…

…or so “We Hate Technology” writers say in their post about Google resembling Terminator’s SkyNet in the near future. While obviously a bit biased (per their blog title), there are some cool ideas there. An excerpt:

This next decade is not going to be about Open Source versus Microsoft or Microsoft versus Apple. It is going to be about just how fast Google can move as a company. Google is the size of a tank that can move like a small European car. Most companies that size are the size of a tank and can move like a tank. For a mere $300 million Google will be able to effectively purchase the infrastructure of the U.S. internet and create the next network that the U.S. will run on. After that I am sure they will move on to Europe and other counties. Everyone take the time to bow down to your new overlords and sign into the Google Skynet.

(Cringing as I go do another Google search…)
