UML is great but I think the key area where Google has had a whole lot more impact is with its text-to-speech and speech-to-text technologies for search. There's still a double digit percentage of people on this planet who aren't able to read or write. They haven't been able to benefit from advanced technology at all, until recently, due to the patronizing literacy requirements held by most software. In fact, I seem to recall, at one point or another, Google even made their search engine available by phone in a language that had no written form. Talk about conquering the digital divide.
