Infinite money in the pursuit of profit or an ego trip of an exec. No money for the benefit of community or society.
"Society" (whomever that is) uses Google services constantly, to society's constant benefit.
It seems the main benefit goes to Google.
Not from my perspective. I get free mapping anywhere on earth, with traffic information, and can route plan walking, cycling, driving, or public/private transport and likely journey times. I can search the world's web-published information. I'm using a powerful, relatively affordable mobile phone. I can watch anything anyone with a camera uploads to YouTube across the world. I can pay from my phone with a thumbprint verification only. I can take a photo of something and get back what it is and some information about it.
