Google Is Search Engine And OS – A Risky Combination
Overcoming the growing distrust about Google may have been easier had it focused on the search engine market alone. However, one finds that Google is interested in having a finger in each and every pie. It spearheaded the campaign for an open source operating system that would depend a lot on the internet.
Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing because it has helped expand the operating system market for cell phones. However, the combination of Google the search engine and Google the operating system manufacturer is a potentially dangerous one.
An operating system will always face the risk of viruses. This means that Google may entering the virus protection market as well. This is an integral part of each and every operating system and chances are high that the service provider may want to keep this part of the market under its own control.
In such a scenario, we are looking at a situation where bulk of the information and solutions to protect information will be under the control of a single entity – Google. What makes this particularly dangerous is that a single flaw will be enough to compromise not just your operating system but you are online presence as well. In today’s world, that can lead to disastrous consequences. From inefficiency to malice, the average user will be at the receiving end if something goes wrong with Google. The worst part is that everybody is cool with the idea despite being aware of the numerous risks involved.
