The future of Google is a popular topic and one I cannot avoid but join. Just as Microsoft did in the 80's and 90's, so too is Google doing today - creating a company that will control the way we access and store information. I firmly believe we are witnessing the beginnings of the Google monopoly, and that in three to five years time, Google will play as integrated a role as Microsoft does today. Do no evil - perhaps, but that does not equal consumer control and transparency, two areas where both MSFT and GOOG come up incredibly short.
