Google Wants to Make Science Fiction a Reality—That’s Limiting Their Imagination
- noobiemcfoob 13y agoI fail to see the problem with trying to address large scale problems immediately instead of allowing the invisible hand of incrementalism to create the next Internet. The idea of wanting a driverless car, or a computer I can easily access by looking up and to the right, aren't new ideas. If anything, these concepts have gone through a type of incrementalism in the pruning and refining of their concepts. Google is just looking around and saying "Hey, maybe we actually have the technology to that thing now." That approach may not be profitable in the long run. Maybe they will shut down eventually, but pointing fingers at it and complaining that it's too myopic is kind of silly.
