How Google Builds Its Maps—and What It Means for the Future of Everything

Out of the three different article, I enjoyed reading “How Google Builds Its Maps—and What It Means for the Future of Everything,” by Alexis Madrigal. I like that it started off with the history of Google and talking about how Google “began as an online search company that made money almost exclusively from selling ads based on what you were querying for,” and what it has developed into. I feel like the whole world revolves around Google and as much as you try to avoid using it, you just cannot because its like a force of habit to just "Google" everything. I think it is fascinating how fast it has developed and how it still is developing. I honestly love Google because it has everything you need, literally everything and I think that its amazing that we get to use it for free, since nowadays everything seems to have a cost, but I guess the cost of using Google is the whole privacy issue, but so far that hasn’t influenced my life in a negative way so I will continue to use Google. The article was also interesting in that it mentioned “augmented reality” because we had just read an article on the topic.
