I really think people have missed the point of Google and this sort of change. They are about constraining and managing what you can think. Don't believe me?

Don't believe me? Hear it in Schmidt's own words:

"When you use google, do you get more than one answer? Of course you do. Well, that's a bug. We have more bugs per second in the world because we should be able to give you the right answer just once. We should know what you meant you should look for information and we should give it exactly right and we should give it to you in your language and we should never be wrong."
Google see themselves as custodians of truth. They know the truth, and it is their job to give it to you.
Now you might wonder 'how do they know what they truth is'. For google there is no ambiguity, there are not multiple narratives or explanations. The truth is what they say the truth is.
