Googlopoly: one company to rule them all

This post makes a very convincing argument as to how exactly Google plans to basically take over the world. Or well, the Internet portion of it at least. Only, as we move more toward a wired society, the Internet will (and is) beginning to encompass much more than e-mail and Web pages. It’s our connection to other people, our means of communication for much of our work, our source of news and entertainment. Phone lines are moving to the Internet and movies streamed on-demand instead of rented from the local Blockbuster. It’s an interesting phenomenon. The post is worth reading if you’re at all concerned about one company having too much power.

It’s reminiscient of the EPIC 1214 video, which in itself of course scares the crap out of me. (Also, apparently there’s an updated version: EPIC 1215. For some reason, perhaps because I can better see how I fit into its revised version of the future, this updated version is a lot less frightening.)
