It’s true, all of these new biz ideas from Google execs are free for the linking… E.g., one of my themes is that we are now in the “age of sensors” — as the 1980’s - 1990’s were the “age of personal computers”.
Sensors everywhere: Your phone knows a lot about the world around you. If you take that intelligence and combine it in the cloud with that of every other phone, we have an incredible snapshot of what is going on in the world right now. Weather updates can be based on not hundreds of sensors, but hundreds of millions. Traffic reports can be based not on helicopters and road sensors, but on the density, speed, and direction of the phones (and people) stuck in the traffic jams.
Personally, I see some of the biggest opportunities in the “intelligent cloud” — evidently so does Google.
And Marissa Mayer is on target with this one
…One far-fetched idea: how about a wearable device that does searches in the background based on the words it picks up from conversations, and then flashes relevant facts?
and note how Marissa formed her queries.
