Why is google getting into hardware? Glass, Car, Fiber, Robots and others
GOOGLE GLASS

GOOGLE ROBOTS
Google bought Boston Dynamics in 2013.
It is the eighth robotics company that Google
has acquired in the last half-year.
Executives at the Internet giant are circumspect about
what exactly they plan to do with their robot collection.

Google is truly a pioneer company in the digital age. Transforming from simply an Internet related service company, to attaining a plethora of partnerships and acquisitions. Even the very website that we use for this class is a Google owned site. As we move into the future, other companies should take note of Google as they transition into new industries. These industries such as hardware will allow Google to revolutionize how we function in our daily lives.
ReplyDeleteI actually sat here and watched every video because some of the content that i saw was quite unbelievable. The fact that Google has not just one type of robot but plenty of robots that can do numerous amounts of tasks are quite mind boggling. Robots that can climb over obstacles larger than them or even run faster than 99% of humans is definitely a revolutionary step to the future.
ReplyDeleteAll i could think about was having an army full of all these different types of robots which could keep our troops at home with their families instead of sacrificing so many of our people. Google is definitely making enormous steps toward a better future.
I still maintain the view that I left in class - when it comes to these self-driving automobiles, I need to see legitimate proof that its sensors respond to hazards quicker than the human brain. I've been imaging a cat bolting out in front of a car, and I wonder how a human-driven and computer-driven car would respond. Essentially, I am just skeptical about anything that eliminates the "human element", and these self-driving cars are prime examples.
