At the end of keynote speech at Google’s Developer conference, Larry Page appeared on stage.

With his croaky groggy voice he managed to detail his vision. In fact the more he spoke, the more compelling he became. Larry outlined a vision of a world where technology is simply freeing us from remembering phone numbers, calendar reminders, or even being lost again. He added that he imagined a world where everyone has access to the latest in ideas and education. And where those who already have the access and the technical skills bear a responsibility to help spread the best technology has to offer to everyone else.

Larry Page started talking about himself, about every Google employee, the 6,000 in attendance at the conference and the 1 million people watching on YouTube. Just a shame it couldn’t stream smoothly. Larry Page continued as to how he wanted an army of tech-savvy people to help him transform, not just Silicon Valley, but every industry, from automobiles to healthcare, and every institution,from law to every type of industry.

I believe he was after world dominance, but selling it as a flowery vision. Larry Page also added how the world’s tech companies don’t share and end up leeching off each other. Ironically, after the speech, Google’s lawyers issued a cease and desist letter to Microsoft over their WP8 YouTube app.

Whatever your views on Google, it clearly is a company being spearheaded by a man with a vision. And that is a powerful one.

My only concern is that once Google become the master of their apps and services, will there be any competition left to compete with them. Are we moving to a monopolised tech world, and will this provide simplicity or make us into dumb humans who no longer think for themselves.
