Google Doomed?

The video on the history of Google had a lot of great background, but one thing really stuck with me. At the very end of the show John Heilemann said that Google was "bound for self-destruction." Really? I think they're doin' alright. Everyone that uses Google just becomes more enthralled with their products. Yes, this may mean more dependency on one company, but that doesn't necessarily mean our life's information will be compromised or exploited. Personally and professionally we're moving to a web-based society--even Microsoft. I think Google is too smart to lead itself off the virtual cliff.

Is Google Making Us Stoopid? This is a great article about impact of all of our Googling on our minds!
