I don’t find the world information on Google when I search.

Gmail works much better. It does, indeed, organize the world’s information, the world’s private and corporate information.

But the only who can really search through it is the CIA. Maybe we’re not the real customers ;)

The notion of organizing private information (VS the public internet) helped me shift my perspective a bit, thank you. It also dramatically amplified my feelings about other Google products, like Drive, which do an absolutely terrible job organizing and making private information accessible. It's almost maliciously bad.
