The way Google Maps took over the world was very impressive.
It was done so discreetly barely anyone noticed. First Google created an online
roadmap of every country in the world; not only was it very convenient, it was free.
Satellite pictures of the roads were soon introduced to give a comprehensive look
at sought journeys. It wasn’t long until real-time traffic was considered to
create shorter routes for Google Maps users. Roadside view images were then
entered into the vast path finding system; it was now impossible for anyone
with an Internet connection to get lost. Google added a global positioning
satellite to determine its users’ exact locations and compared email and phone
records to plan future routes. Other users’ account information and likely
journeys were taken into account to organise the quickest possible travel time.
Google Maps stopped limiting itself to road travel alone; it could now map out
other aspects of its users’ lives. It could determine the perfect job for some
customers while simultaneously locating the best employees for others.
Eventually the company began calculating perfect partner matches, based on
personal information and search history, and arrange both chance and scheduled
meetings with them. A system was then developed to use compatibility and shared
interests data and accurately calculate the number of children its users would
produce. Google Maps would select your children’s names, choose the schools
they would attend, and map out their entire lives minutes by minute. Google is
not an evil corporation; they simply want to make people’s lives easier. If you were to point out that the company was taking over the world and linked it up to
their search engine they wouldn't even mind. At least I hope they don’t.
