改變世界的12家公司
????4. 谷歌公司 ????創(chuàng)造古怪的產(chǎn)品,使之無所不在,周而復(fù)始。這是谷歌公司(Google)自成立至今一直遵循的準(zhǔn)則,他們的使命就是整編世界信息。想要使網(wǎng)絡(luò)變得好用?用谷歌搜索。想要研制可以放入口袋的電腦?用谷歌搜索。想要為每條街道拍照,方便人們可以在遙遠(yuǎn)的位置導(dǎo)航?用谷歌搜索。想要使圖書數(shù)字化?用谷歌搜索。想要在軟件中配置多種語言翻譯程序?還可以用谷歌搜索。我們可以把谷歌(GOOG)看成一個生產(chǎn)重要創(chuàng)新的工廠,例如無人駕駛汽車、嵌入式計算機、乃至延長人類壽命的技術(shù)?!狹iguel Helft |
????4. Google ????Dream up something outlandish. Make it ubiquitous. Repeat. That’s been Google’s formula since day one, as it embarked on an ambitious mission to organize the world’s information. Tame the web? Check. Build a computer that fits in your pocket? Check. Photograph every street to make it navigable from afar? Check. Digitize the planet's books? Check. Build a polyglot translator in software? Check. Think of Google GOOG as a factory for major innovations, from self-driving cars to wearable computers to technology for extending the lifespan of humans. —Miguel Helft |
