I'm glad you bring this up. Some people thing Google is a threat to our privacy (what a silly middle class notion anyway), but clearly government regulation is sufficient to prevent any abuse. Google presents a great opportunity to the world. Today many people realize the growing environmental cost of having powerful personal computers. As an example of Google's positive influence, their scale allows them to compress the whole world's UTF-8 documents including commonalities between documents! Imagine how many disks will be saved! For the sake of not only the environment, but also UNIX we must return to the roots of UNIX as a time-sharing system. I imagine that in the bright future all people of standing will use chromebooks with ZX to perform all their scripting on Google Drive FUSE filesystems!
