Looking at Google's list of 144 latest acquisitions, you'll find that most of them don't seem to have much in common.
Many technical experts wonder what the company is doing.
This week, Google acquired SlickLogin, an Israeli startup.
Frequency sound waves are the basis of intelligence-ID loginsystem.
A few weeks ago, agoggoogle acquired Nest, which developed thermostats and smoke alarms connected to the Internet.
At deméberis, the goal is a series of robotics companies, which makes it a pleasure for many to question whether the company plans to develop a batch of robots.
In last May, Google acquired a company called Makani Power, which developed airborne wind turbines.
In September, the company acquired a healthcare company called Calico, which is looking at ways to combat aging.
The eclectic list continues.
Google has been more than just a search engine.
First, the advertising company-
Most of its income comes from here.
But Google's recent acquisition suggests that,and-
The search empire may be moving in a very different direction.
In the past two years alone, the company has had a talent war, costing an astonishing $17 billion in acquisitions.
More than its competitors.
Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Yahoo!
According to a Bloomberg report, the spending is added together.
George Geis, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Research acquisition, said he did not believe that Google was only chasing brands, products or patents.
Google is merging with companies at such a high rate, he said, because it is interested in acquiring developers and creative talent behind these companies.
They are the so-called "Aqui-
They are all angry in Silicon Valley.
"They are interested in the company, but to a large extent they seem to want to buy these people," said addedRob Enderle of the United States. S. tech analyst.
For example, when Google bought Nest, it also took Tony Fadell ).
The team he led created the first 18 generations of the iPod and three generations of the iPhone. Google paid $3.
2 billion merged with Fadell's smart thermostat and smoke detector company.
This is a big bet on the Internet.
Connected Devices
Keep in mind that it bought Youtube for $1.
2006 6 billion.
Geis said that part of the Google acquisition agreement stipulates that developers must stay in the company within the specified time, and they will receive bonuses for projects operated by Google.
"They will bring you in, they will bring you in and they will merge you with their team and then they will decide to let you do something else," Endler added . ".
Google also has a large number of patents in emerging markets.
In addition to search and communication technologies waiting for what you expect, there are things that don't seem to fit any of Google's current lines of business.
For example, one is a cane for capturing images.
The other is a gadget that projects the keyboard into your hands.
Google has a patent on a device that puts a microphone into the user's throat, basically passing sound to a smartphone (
Can also do a lie detector).
"What interest does Google have now? " asks Enderle.
"Almost anything related to software or hardware technology.
Endler said: "3D printing, robotics and artificial intelligence are expected to be the next wave of technological progress.
Google acquired several companies related to the latter two companies.
Google acquired Boston power.
Last month, for example, industrial robotics. One four-
Leg robot, known as a big dog, is able to run at a speed of 6 km/h and climb 35-
Degree slope and carry 340pound load.
Google has expressed interest in developing assembly line robots for factories, but both Geis and Enderle predict that it will also develop robots that individuals use at home.
Interested in things like the Internet
Connected devices and robots do not mean that Google is not looking for new ways for its current core business-search and advertising.
In fact, this is a potential link to many of its recent seemingly diverse purchases.
"Most of the things they develop in any form know you better," said Endler . ". The ad-
For example, the acquisition of Nest by technology companies has set a precedent for Google's leading position in smart home technology.
But it opened the way for the company to enter the connected home market, inserting Google and its data --
Party and advertising
There are strategies everywhere.
"No matter where people spend their time, Google wants to have a substantial, unique presence there," Geis said . ".
He said that Google is interested in the "internet of things" and establishes a network of connected devices at home and elsewhere where Google technology is used.
This will enable companies to gather more information about how we live and work when we are offline in order to better advertise to us. Nest's co-
Shortly after the acquisition, founder Matt Rogers wrote on the company blog: "Our privacy policy clearly limits the use of customer information to provide and improve Nest's products and services.
We have always taken privacy seriously, and this will not change.
"But inevitably, other smart devices from Google will also enter the home, and they may not just be collecting data.
Geis believes that ads will be displayed constantly.
Enderle said Google has not been careful to address consumer privacy, adding that the government may eventually step in and force Google to scale down its information --
Collect tactics.
Currently, howeverS.
The government of Canada is in a very weak position in how to justify any restrictions. "All the [NSA]
"Leaks make it almost impossible for the government to step in and ask Google to stop what they are doing because the government is doing it," Endler said . ".
He added that if no one gets in the way of Google, it will become a massive technology and information group with autonomous devices at its core.
He predicts that in terms of the percentage of its overall operations, its advertising business will gradually become smaller, and most of the company's revenue will come from cloud services and increasingly intelligent products.
According to the company's current direction and momentum, Endler said: "They will become their own superpower . ".
"Google is likely to dominate the world in the future.
