Google: The Teacher Pakistanis Seek?
September 2, 2016
I read “Pakistan University Students All Set to Be Taught by Google.” The write up revealed:
Google, an internet giant has planned to visit universities in Pakistan to spread awareness among Pakistani students regarding modern and useful tools and various other services.
And the curriculum? Here’s what the write up explained:
This purposeful event will be focused on effective products of Google for monetization such as Google AdMob and Google Adsense.
No reference to the expanded Google patents collection, Google books, or Google maps.
Does this suggest that the academic focus is revenue generation from the for fee advertising business at the Alphabet Google thing?
Our best guess: Yep. A little learning is a dangerous thing some old dude said. But revenue is revenue. Next up? Kyrgyzstan? There are some interesting markets in that nation state we have heard.
