As part of their 10th birthday, it looks like Google are looking ahead to the changes that will benefit them and the rest of us in the next coming 10 years.
Two interesting things I spotted are:
- This page of blog posts from some of the Google higher-ups about how various things on the internet and in the world might change over the next 10 years.
- Project 10 to the 100th (= 1 googol) which is a $10 million prize fund for people with bright ideas – the winners being those whose ideas will improve the lives of the most people. Here’s the nice video Google have created to demonstrate it:
I have my worries about the power that Google have but so far (like Spiderman) they seem to have shown they understand that with it comes a responsibility to use it to help make the world better (and encourage others to do so). I hope Google will keep on Doing No Evil and, better yet, Doing Some Good.
