Google to Make Personal Computers Obsolete?

Imagine a future world where one large Internet mega-conglomerate controls all of your personal data, including highly sensitive information on your identity, finances, health, and anything else you may have stored in files on your personal computer.

If Google has its way, that day may be closer than you think.

And the personal computer will go the way of the dinosaur:

Google is to launch a service that would enable users to access their personal computer from any internet connection, according to industry reports. But campaigners warn that it would give the online behemoth unprecedented control over individuals' personal data.

The Google Drive, or "GDrive", could kill off the desktop computer, which relies on a powerful hard drive. Instead a user's personal files and operating system could be stored on Google's own servers and accessed via the internet.

And let's not forget that Google contributed heavily to the election of Barack Obama, its CEO is slated to become Obama's chief resource officer in charge of Internet technology, and that the company is now poised to seize unprecedented power.

Perhaps it's time for the citizens to revisit their dictionaries for a refresher on the definition of 'fascism.'

DID GOOGLE-OBAMA LAUNCH A TRIAL BALLOON?

As if bloggers and concerned readers are being bewitched and manipulated by Internet nerds at Google, the story of Pamela Geller's Atlas Shrugs being blocked by Google just keeps getting more bizarre.

Some users are able to access the blog with no problem, directly from Google, using terms such as 'Obama's forged birth certificate.'

Yet others are still getting a message stating that the blog is 'FORBIDDEN.'

Perhaps Google is correcting the problem in light of the fact that Geller has hired a team of IT consultants and experts on Internet terrorism to investigate the problem. In addition, Google has gotten slammed with lots of bad press in the new media today.

But here is a more sinister possibility. Could this whole thing have been a trial balloon launched by Google and Barack Obama to determine the amount of resistance they would receive among us peons in the citizenry should Obama decide to regulate and control Internet content?

Don't simply dismiss the notion as the befuddled musings of a conspiracy theorist. Obama and his team are the most Internet-savvy political team in the history of American politics.

And before they would attempt something as outlandish and unAmerican as an attempt to control and regulate the Internet, you can bet your bottom dollar they would test such a thing first, in order to gauge public reaction.

They would also want to know who would be at the forefront of their opposition.

What better way to launch such a test than to use an Obama-friendly search engine, Google, to block access to one of the top conservative-libertarian blogs in the nation in order to observe the reaction?

It's just a theory, not an accusation. But it makes for interesting mind-calisthenics.
