Google is changing the game

Google has been one of the most innovative companies of the last decade. Gmail, picasa, google maps, google earth, google search, chrome, blogger, google calendar and google docs, google scholar, google talk, google voice and now google wave are some of the products that this communications titan offers to the public.

Google wave is a product that integrates email, social media, instant messaging, collaboration and interactivity in one application. It has been described the email of the 21st century. Synchronous and collective creation of information and knowledge have always been a possibility and they are most rewarding human activities. However, with the new web technologies the constraints of space and time are beginning to quickly fade away.

It is time to rethink learning, teaching, interacting, disseminating, searching and creating. Communication is changed. Products such as the ones developed by Google and other companies are breaking old and creating new paradigms. There is not gap, there is no real-virtual reality divide. We are in a brave new world. The Google World!

Enjoy it while is free...
