If you want to fear the future, examine history from the point of view presented in this series. Rampant Google-bashing and old social commentary. Fails to mention that Google has answered all of our questions for 12 years, never asked for a penny from anyone and keeps getting better. Acknowledges Google has changed America but fails to note that it united the world in the act of asking for information and expecting a response. The worthwhile critical approach to Google is not to compare it to Austin Powers&#39; Dr evil, or the communist USSR, but to examine the correlations between Google Inc. and Christianity&#39;s messiah prophecy. Don&#39;t you Google every day?
