I fundamentally disagree with this. If you had said this in front of me,
I could not promise I would not seriously injure you before I could
inhibit the impulse.
We can, and should, construct our machines from sand, rocks, trees,
plants and scrap.
We can, and should, take hold of our own fates and destinies, rather
than put our trust in Google, and rely on that organization, or any other.
It will not be long before Google, like all other commercial
enterprises, submits to the same pressures and inclinations as any other
commercial data host. It certainly does not fill me with confidence when
it is common knowledge that Google is before all other things an
advertisement company.
No, Google-user, I think we can forge our own path, seize fate by the
throat, and innovate without interference, as we always have, and always
will.
Begone.
