"I don't understand why you assume their only or main reason to develop Google Glass and self-driving cars is ads."
Because everything Google does is for serving ads. Every tech that Google releases is directly or in-directly related to ad revenue. Either serve ads or collect data to sell to advertisers.
Nothing wrong with this. Many companies rely on ad revenue (Facebook or example).
But I do know Google is desperately searching for other sources of revenue. It's just that they are addicted to ads. And social media (for ads). Which, IMHO is killing the company. Their total focus on Google + (and other social apps) is sucking the life out of other interesting projects; that might yield results that aren't dependent on ad revenue. But it's hard to think out-side the box. Sad.
- Confusion 13y agoSo your answer to the question "Why do you assume .. ads?" is "because everything .. ads". How do you not recognize that as begging the question? And then a few sentences later you say "Google is desperately searching for other sources of revenue", which is utterly inconsistent with "because everything .. ads". Your comment does not make any sense at all.
- crag 13y agoMy point is that Google is searching in vain. It's running around in circles cause it keeps coming back to ads. Confusing? So is Google. Know anyone who works there? Ask. Many there are just as confused. And that's Google's problem.
