Google seems to be having a hold on everybodys lives.Back in 2003
Google was everywhere with its search engine and since
then it has introduced many
applications like Gmail,Google Talk,Google Calender,Google Earth,Picassa etc.Almost everyone is engulfed in the google web one way or the other.Some talk to friends and loved ones through google talk and some exchange emails throught the Gmail.Google Scholar allows academics to search for books and peer reviewed papers.Google has achieved a meta status as the most used search engine.People no longer have to remember things as google remembers it for them.It is like a memory chip. Gmail seems to be very popular with the young crowds.Google has managed to collect so much private data about people.And Google, from its end ensures user privacy. Google is now integrating online
office applications by launching Google Docs and spreadsheets.It is not a full fledged office alternative as most people do not need all the functions.The target audience is the average user who needs the simple word processor.Globally people are becoming increasingly dependent on google applications.
