Google “singularity”
We start with the proposition that we should no longer consider Google “ubiquitous.”
Microsoft achieved ubiquity, but remains mired in the market condition of near hegemony: Apple dogs Microsoft in mobile media. Nokia dogs Microsoft in mobile handsets. Open-source movement dogs Microsoft on all fronts.
Rather we start our line of inquiry with the proposition that Google has transcended the abstract condition of ubiquity and become truly contextual to most (and soon, all) markets, societies, and culture. Google represents the newest global singularity. I really like the definition of singularity in the UNESCO/IUBS/EUBIOS Bioethics
- A condition of peculiarity, remarkability or individuality; separate or singled out; unique or unitary;
- Physics: A point where the space-time continuum folds infinitely on itself due to massive gravity, such as a ‘black hole’ or the ‘Big Bang’. (See BLACK HOLE, WORMHOLE, BIG BANG)
Our syncordance, What is your Google strategy?, constitutes an open-system inquiry of Google as a strategic, disruptive, and opportunity-generating singularity.
Like talking to fish about the distinction of “wet”, this may, or may not, make sense.
