What
would happen if Google went down for 30 days? by Joseph Gulesserian
If
Google went down for thirty days, what effect would it have on our
lives? What would be the ramifications on our schools, businesses,
our way of life, lost efficiencies, and conveniences we take for
granted?
How
would the millennials be able to deal with this vs. the Gen-X and
baby boomers? For one, the millennials have never experienced the
world before the internet, and getting through just being able to do
their homework assignments without the aid of Google would more than
likely put them into the realm of being functionally illiterate, and
force them do go to the library to do secondary or primary research.
Gen-X
and the baby boomers could always still rely on their dual skill set
of the world before and during Google.
What
if a computer virus simultaneously attacked work stations and
tablets, and Google was not available to research the fix. What if
your IT team had to find a fix without relying on Google, so they can
get work around to their technical issues? What if a virus overtook
most e-mails and we could not even communicate electronic memos
within companies, never mind globally?
How
would the stock market function, and would it create panic selling
when the market factored in that global reduction inefficiency of
labour output as a result of Google going down for thirty days,
leading to a diminishment in corporate profits, and the subsequent
devaluation of equity prices? It is then almost certain that just the
loss of equities could impact wealth globally into the trillions of
dollars, and spin us into a bear market of wealth destruction. Much
of this is discussed in my book “Newspaper Boys Always Deliver”.
Then,
we should consider the effects of Google on the mobile market and its
related apps. What would be the economic and social ramifications to
this? What if all Gmail stopped working? What if Google
Maps went down and your business could not be found, or people could not rely on their GPS’s and traffic apps. What if you could not get access to your Google’s OneDrive and your school papers or business presentation was depending on this.
Maps went down and your business could not be found, or people could not rely on their GPS’s and traffic apps. What if you could not get access to your Google’s OneDrive and your school papers or business presentation was depending on this.
To
exasperate the situation, it is quite possible the deduction of
Google from the equation of our everyday lives would affect global
inefficiency that would have economic ramifications in the trillions
of dollars, both quantitative and qualitative, since today’s
commerce heavily depends on information, and concomitantly the speed
to operate that Google provides.
All
this could create, at minimum, a recession, and quite possibly a
prolonged depression. But, of course, government with their all-star
line-up of bureaucrats would legislate laws, inflate assets, and jaw
down the last crises without the intellectual wherewithal to consider
the next. All the while, embracing their latest failures with spin!
Then
again, we could perhaps just go back to the library, and try to make
up with librarians that we have ignored for the last ten years, like
yesterday’s newspaper.
