Google: Behind the Screen
Friday, June 27th, 2008
This is a 50 minute documentary on the history of Google, their technology, and the various things they’re working on including the various controversies about stored personal information, public access to information, and more. It’s quite well done and worth watching.
Note: toward the end at about 44:20 the interviewer asks Vint Cerf a question about the big brother/trust me nature of Google’s control of all of this information and Cerf’s answer is fantastic.
