Yikes! I'm gonna be late for Christmas Eve dinner! It's already 5:00 pm on the 24th of December and I'm still on highway 5, driving thru traffic. I just need to continue down this freeway and...damn, I took the wrong exit! Where am I? Oh great, now I'm lost. I'll just stop by this gas station and take out my map out of the glove compartment and ...where the hell is it!? I can't believe I forgot to bring my map. Alright, calm down. I'll ask the gas station owner for directions. What's this? Google is available in this gas station. I also get a printout. Cool, now I can easily navigate my way back to main road and get to LA. This scenario is what this article from techcrunch is about.
Basically, the article is about google being available in gas stations. I think that this a great idea because it can help drivers on the road especially if they get lost and don't have a map to help them find their way. I know that I will benefit from google in gas stations because I often go on seasonal road trips during winter and summer and now & again I get lost and I end up shuffling with my map. With google available, I can just go to a gas station along the interstate and have a them print me a map that I can easily understand and follow.
I also think that this move by google shows the dominance and ubiquity of google in the world. I mean google is everywhere! Google is becoming one of the leading search engines and their popularity is continuing to surge. I believe google will eventually take over the world in the near future and this move with the gas station is a step forward into realizing global dominance.
