Google’s New BFFs: Amazon Netflix and HBOMore Articles December 31 2013 celebrated its 15th birthday but also built a presence in more than 40 countries with 70 offices but Schmidt expressed faith Monday that 2014 will be even more remarkable for Google and thanks to the ever-changing technology environment. Here’s the five big predictions Google’s Chair is making via Bloomberg Television for 2014.
1. Anybody will have a smartphoneThe more tablets and phones that are sold than personal computers: people are moving very quickly into this new architecture. Google saw that coming and it came in 2013. More and more customers turned away from their desktop computers and were instead using their smartphone and tablet apps to access the Internet. Some companies (Apple Google) have gained from this transition more than others sniff sniff Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Hewlett Packard (NYSE: HPQ) but now that most have emerged at least from the debris of the mobile crisis, it is clear that the big names are ready to move forward and take advantage of new opportunities for web. 5/5.964 …… 3. Big Data and Machine Intelligence Arrival
The U.S. National Security which initially brought Big Data to the national stage in 2o13 but now the idea is here to stay and businesses across the board are preparing to spend time and money using Big Data analytics tools. Google itself has already hired a company to help it evaluate big data, but many are still unsure as to where the trend is going to lead and only time is going to tell. What is obvious though is that in this new technology environment, Google will need to continue to strengthen its Big Data efforts to ensure that it remains ahead of the game. Some say 2013 has been a year of Big Data exploration and Schmidt makes it sound like 2014 will pave the way for the next step in the process. 5/5.965……4. Technology arrival in the genetics field Next up is the introduction of a technology for which Schmidt is quick to admit that he has no forecast but retains faith in. The Chair says, “The opportunity to provide personal genetic data and the ability to start collecting all the gene sequencing in places will produce unfathomably significant advancements in cancer care and diagnostics over the next year.” This Schmidt prediction may sound out of the blue but don’t forget that it was just in September that Google launched a new health company Calico t. The news shocked some customers because Google is not exactly known for its health knowledge but investors didn’t fully expect the new venture because Google CEO and co-founder Larry Page has long been very outspoken about his problems with personal ailments including his diagnosis of paralysis of the left vocal cord earlier this year. Page has therefore worked to ensure that Google Ventures ‘ investment arm has made a significant contribution to health-related businesses, and Schmidt’s suggestion that the tech giant will continue to focus on health-related issues shows that Page’s current priorities are not going away.
4.5/5.966. Continued growth of social networking phenomena Next Schmidt blames Google for staying (slightly) behind the social networking bandwagon in 2013 and acknowledges that “We were busy working on many other issues but we should have been in that field and I take responsibility for that.” The Chair does not provide any more information on how Google plans to expand its social media presence in 20 years.
5/5.967 5. Google Investments
Schmidt also acknowledges that some markets in the tech world are shifting and developing faster than others, but expects Google to continue to benefit from their investment-based advertising, regardless of any changes made. He says “Google gains from changes from traditional industries so surprisingly even when things are rough in the world because we’re moving to investment-based ads it’s better to switch the advertisement from others to Google because we win regardless of whether the markets are in good shape or not, because people need our services and we’re very proud of that.”
