I think he makes a very interesting realization about the direction that Google and really the rest of the web should be heading. Of course, I’ll keep this post short and not focus on the collective of the web, but what the folks over at Google are doing.
Kyle pointed out an article this morning about a very high profile (at least I think so) web celebrity that is joining Google as their CIE. Vint Cerf, one of the pioneers behind the internet, will join their executive team on October 3. This is actually quite monumental, considering Vint’s background and the other highly intelligent and high profile individuals that they have coming into their ranks or are already there. Some include the following:
Now, some people are scrambling around saying the tech boom is upon us again! I really don’t think that’s the case, but I do think there are good things brewing in the technological pipelines. Google is one of those at the forefront, as is Yahoo! (which is another post at some point), that is pushing the technology envelope like never before. Of course, Google is in a position to do great things. Their stock price is soaring and investors want to see a return on their investment. This is good for growth, at least for thinkers in the tech sector. Those loan rangers that stuck around for the past five years or more and practiced their craft behind closed doors, or what little they could in their work environments, are the ones to shine in the not so distant future.
From speaking with colleagues in the last few weeks about things to come, the future is bright for all those passionate about tech. The idea of a Google “.ig” or GooOS was in the back of my brain six months or so ago. I approached some friends and colleagues in the field about the idea, only to be shot down, saying it’s too difficult, that no one would use it or what’s the point. Well, obviously someone wants to use it, because Google is heading in this direction. The point is that the web is changing and how we interact with information in front of us is changing as well. Whether we like it or not, how we interact with each other and our personal computers is beginning to change, and for some, already has.
