that would be really fantastic or what?

Google is gaining influence in the world every second, and frnkly i’m getting worried it’ll eventually become a consortium too large to remain “innocent” and “hippy” as it seems to be at the moment for many people. Their mottos not to be evil, to preserve information and to bring everybody the same access to content already start to be failed principles with the google.cn affair.

If they set up such a thing as the Google Grid, how can we be sure it isn’t goig to become our “My Documents” folder? How can we trust our files to such a company?

People already began doing so with the GMAIL DRIVE hack (it “seems” not to be officially supported by google but don’t they have the means to prevent such usage if they really don’t want it?) and keep files on google’s servers on a daily basis. That’s something i don’t feel i’m prepared to do with half of my My Documents files, not to mention the rest… If they plan to set up a global client operating system like some sources say, they’ll have the power to look at any user’s files whenever they want.

Then the government will have the ability to investigate it all, build statistics on people, which may disturb some.

The EPIC video leads to thinking google would end up building profiles on people. Who wants their personality analysed by bots?

Yet the customization of content by automatic means is more attractive than the hundreds of forms we get to see asking for our interests and hobbies. The video shows Google has the potential to bring an end to those steps of customization.
