Living in the ‘Google Planet’
Google is the king of the net and it rules the entire planet. In today's time, Google's influence cannot be overemphasized. Some may deny its power but still the effects are pretty much obvious.
In one of the interviews about the effect of Google to its visitors in general, it was reflected that people from all walks of life are influenced to a point that some of them could not imagine a day without its services. In fact, some of them are worried that their privacy and speech would be jeopardized by banking too much on it.
Kevin Bankston, a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation said, "I don't think any entity has ever been in a position to collect so much private data about people." Firger, a law student named also noted, "I don't know if I want all my personal information saved on this massive server in Mountain View, but it is so much of an improvement on how life was before, I can't help it." Firger also fear about its omnipresence in his life.
