Imagining the Google Future

If you have the time, take a look at this article - its written by some top technology journalists and strategists, and takes a look at four scenario's of where Google may be heading. Scenario 2 seems most likely to me. It talks about the possibly of Google becoming "the" internet. Given the technology, the speed at which web pages are stored and indexed, and their current bank of servers (some 150,000 machines), the scenario paints a picture of people going directly to Google, their a Google browser, and retrieving their information, rather than simply using Google as the search engine - making it more efficient to use that the internet that we know today. Some of the other scenarios seem a little more creative, but they are all equally interesting.
