Even if Google suddenly disappears, we are able to
substitute other programs for everything Google provides. Although the online
tools we daily use can be replaced by other companies’ products, the thing is that we don’t
encounter a situation we have to do it and we don’t
come to think to do it.
Relying on Google apparently endangers our privacy. What
guarantees that Google won’t take advantage of
the information Google has stored through all their products. We can’t even fully trust our own countries’
governments, and then how come we can trust a private company? Also,
centralizing information is quite dangerous of course because a huge number of
information stored in Google don’t work properly and
all Google users fall into disorder if Google is down.
There is an animated movie, Summer Wars. The movie
describes a story that an all-powerful online system, which everyone over the
world uses is hacked by AI. I’m wondering if our
future may dominated by Google is going to be like the world in this movie.
