Google has taken the realm of search engines into a new league - it is the police force of the online community and as latest statistics show that 60% of the UK access the internet every day (with Google usage reportedly reaching 90%), that is an awful lot of power.
In general, we have accepted that people no longer "search the internet". Instead we simply "GOOGLE" it.
This isn't to say that Google has reached the topspot without a lot of effort. Google has stayed on the top thanks to the tireless updating and optimisation its own algorithms that produce consistently better search results. Now, in response to all of this hard work, Google has put itself in the indisputable position of RULEMAKER. Any website that does not follow its lead will be punished.
Google Chrome was launched in September 2008 and became instantly popular. It has now been independently verified as the swiftest of all of the internet browsers and has one of the most user-friendly interfaces.
And now, we have the Google Chromebook. Not only does Google provide the software, but they are quite keen to make sure that your hardware is up to scratch too!
But why do Google feel that it is necessary to have their own notebook? Well, if ALL of life revolves around the internet, why do you need anything else? Let's just make it quicker, easier and much more beautiful. This simplification of "e-life" means that internet access and searching is quicker than ever (8 second start-up) and virus risk is greatly reduced. It also includes apps for contacts, calendars, music, photos and text editing. And should you ever lose your Chromebook, all of your information will still be stored and can immediately be accessed from a different notebook.
So, what do the reviews say? Is this a step too far for Google? Well, no, the power of an established brand can never be underestimated. And this is a good example of a brand flexing its ample muscles at the growing number of people who 90% of the time, do little outside of their email, facebook, twitter or apps. But we Puddingers couldn't function without our other supporting programs as presumably all design based companies will say, so we will be applauding this ballsy launch from afar, and wait to see how it develops.
