Is Google trying to take over the world?

Last week, Chris and I came across a story that the beloved search-engine website, Google was now launching intelligence drones into the continent of Africa to prevent the poaching of rhinoceros. The immediate thought that went through both of our minds is "How does a company, like Google, make the branch between search engine tool to drone manufacturers " Well, surprisingly enough, this is not the first time Google has made this "leap of faith" into a new source of technology.

Google is one most risk-free stock investments you could make nowadays. The stock price (as of December 4th) is $685 a share and has managed to stay around that price for a good time now. This relatively stable business foundation has allowed Google to take some unprecedented stakes toward a new-wave of technology hence the "leap of faith" comment.

Now that we've covered that Google can afford to take these calculated risks, lets move on to actually why Google could be running EVERYTHING in the very near future.

A city in Kansas acquired a new ISP (Internet Service Provider.) This ISP has managed to offer ridiculously low prices for internet service such as $25/mo. for one year. Then, for the next 7 years. THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS. Internet is free. Guess who this famous ISP is run by? Google. Now when I look at this from the outside as an unbiased party, I keep coming to the conclusion of "PLEASE, Google; BRING ME THIS AMAZING SERVICE." Even though this is amazing  and awesome you must be asking yourself "How on Earth can Google afford to give out practically free internet?" Well remember that "leap of faith" I was talking about? Yeah, that's where that comes into play.

Well guess what? There's more! Google has also started talks of becoming a cell-phone service provider. A FREAKIN' CELLPHONE SERVICE PROVIDER. Now, if you don't know what that means; it practically means that our friends over at Google want to compete with the likes of companies such as Verizon, and AT&T.

With the all information that I have presented, you have to ask yourself "Is this a bad thing?" I have also tried to answer this question myself and here's what I have decided. As long as Google stays to its great business model which is providing great customer service and very affordable prices then of course not. But if Google runs off all the other ISP's and then decides to sky-rocket their prices we would be at the mercy of the capitalist giant Google. But hey? Why be a debbie-downer? Googles' doing a great thing and we all should be happy if they decide to come to our cities.
