Just watching a brief segment on 60 Minutes, online Leslie Stahl interviewing Sergey Brin … interspersed with examples of new things Google and others are working on. The theme is mainly sociology meeting technology …
For example, they demonstrated, whilst walking around, a new service by Google allowing you to look up businesses and services in any old strange place from the cell phone, by sending an SMS message to this Google capability.
Or .. a magic wand you can pass over the bar codes of products in the grocery store, providing you with instant price and ingredient comparisons … as Sergey Brin said … “empowering people with knowledge”.
