Life After Google

Více o knize

The Age of Google, characterized by big data and machine intelligence, is nearing its end. In this insightful exploration, George Gilder, a visionary in technology and culture, discusses the current turmoil in Silicon Valley and the impending post-Google era. Google's remarkable ability to "search and sort" has drawn global users to its services, which appear free but are funded by advertising. This "aggregate and advertise" model thrives only as long as data centers are controlled, but a market lacking prices stifles entrepreneurship, turning the Internet into an ad-laden wasteland. The crisis extends beyond economics; despite advancements in artificial intelligence fostering illusions of power, Silicon Valley has largely neglected security. The firewalls meant to protect passwords and personal information have proven ineffective. As the dominance of a few tech giants wanes, the industry faces a "great unbundling," which will redistribute computing power and reshape both the economy and the Internet. The transition to life after Google is imminent.
