Google in 2019
December 12, 2009
I am not sure what I will look like tomorrow morning. Royal Pingdom moves outside a prediction envelope of 24 hours and targets 87,600 hours. The prognostication appears in “What the Google Web Will Look Like in 10 Years.” The hook for the article is Google and its public DNS service. Pingdom then touches upon a number of separate Google products and services, including Android and Wave. The wrap up is a discussion of the concept of the “technological Singularity”. Interesting stuff.
Several observations:
- The context for these separate pearls from Google is missing. That’s a common method when some folks discuss Google. These things seem so disconnected. Because Google does not connect the dots, the description of products and services hang like a lone ornament or two on my neighbor’s artificial Christmas tree.
- Google has been accelerating its release of these individual pearls since late 2006. Is that a coincidence or a consequence? Not much illumination from the Sergey-and-Larry-eat-pizza crowd in my opinion.
- The trajectory of these individual pearls warrants some physics. For example, are the pearls bee bees or are they ICBMs? Are the pearls scattered or are they the organic output of a construct?
I don’t want to get too philosophical, but I think it is easy to explain Google in 2019. Google becomes the Web for some folks, just one big Google dataspace. Just my opinion.

Oyez, oyez, National Science Foundation, wake up. I am disclosing that no one paid me to write this opinion. The goose can too predict the future. There will be more mine run off tomorrow. 100 percent accuracy for free.
