We think that it's awesome how you guys discussed do much in depth stuff about Google, but we also think you guys drifted away from your primary focus because you ask (rhetorically) if Google is too powerful, yet the presentation doesn't really explain how they allocate that power, where they exercise it, etc...
Also, Think about the Internet; it is a worldwide thing.. Maybe if you compared Google to other major companies you could explain how "gentle" Google is compared to other Co.s.
right now and in the verbal presentation it seemed this group stated that the CEO(s) of Google did no harm because "they were too rich" and they dont need to take control of the web, but what if they did? what could be the effects, and what laws restrict them from becoming too powerful at this point?
In addition, think about the older times in America when Rockefeller had all the oil, or another parallel that demonstrates something like a Monopoly.. Do you think Google is getting close to forming a Monopoly? after all, it IS buying out a lot of small tech companies.. could that be a sign?
Do you find this valuable?
