The Amazing Future, According to Google


Bangalore: At least some of us believe that tech companies started to take control of our life, luring with the innumerous possibilities they offer through services. More or less, it is true. They control us now and the future will also be not too different. Various companies including Google, Apple and Facebook are sweating out in their secret labs discovering new products, which would essentially define how we live our future.

Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, who spoke at the company’s Zeitgeist sales conference in Arizona explained how the future is going to be, at least for him. According to him, life will turn much easier with a bed which wakes him up when his brain had enough sleep hours, a driverless car that take him to work, artificial intelligent devices which reply to the phone calls, schedule events and manage the routine tasks for him. His health will be under close monitor by a micro-robot, that he swallowed, which will alert his doctor if it found some problem. That is not it, at night a robot will go to parties in his place. “He’ll have a good time and report back in the morning,” said Schmidt.

According to him, Google is working hard behind some of these projects like the universal language translator and artificial intelligent machines. The company had recently created an artificial brain with a billion connections.

Schmidt also believes that more than making the life easier, technology will pave way to enlightening and connecting the people in the developing countries. “Imagine going from no information to the entire world’s information with one device,” he said. “No textbooks to all textbooks. No language to all language.”

Schmidt believes Google and other companies are going to succeed when they impregnate tech into everyday life, which is a Google theme. Google’s connected glasses are a first step. According to him, even though these glass wearing faces stand out as of now, “eventually technology will disappear. It’s the ultimate achievement. No more ports and prompts and plug-ins.”
