An open letter to Google Corporation

Dear Google, we're on the verge of another technological revolution, and I want you to lead it. Please consider the following life-altering changes:

• Google Cellular
  Purchase T-Mobile.  They're a carrier that hangs around, but really never competes against the big boys of cell phone companies (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T).  Once purchased, make all your rate plans just $30-$40 a month -- only for unlimited data access and messaging charges.  The voice charges will come from replacing the ringing (or, in some cases, music) the caller hears with advertisements.  These would be selected ads you would feel comfortable letting your callers listen to (ie. I would never want anyone calling me to hear about RedBull or Trojan condoms ads).  I feel it's a small inconvenience to pay for free voice service, which of course, will be using the cellular data network and not the POTS.  Besides, if the subscriber doesn't like it, there would be incentive to answer their phone quicker.  Much better than the alternative.
• Google Medical
  No, we don't need a hospital run on Google Wave, although you wouldn't have any problems with your own WebMD.  What we need here is an intervention with our government medical paper trail.  You see it every hospital, clinic, and outpatient care you visit.  It's costs billions (un-sourced and un-researched) and is behind the times.  Digital records held in the cloud is what we need: a universal health-care filing system (read that again, carefully, conservatives).  Would we go to the extent of tattooing or implanting a scannable ID on our bodies?  Probably not.  Use a digital ID card or a SIM card in phones from your new cellular network.  People leave their wallets at home, but never their phone. This would consolidate your whole medical history, current medications, donor status, recorded biometrics and make them accessible for any certified medical care providers the whole world over allowing personnel from emergency response to your family doctor to access updated records every time they needed it.  People may go conspiracy theory on you, but the idea that we've been living in an archaic (this Internet capability has been accessible for ~15-years) system baffles me.  Get some senators on board and get your government grant.

• Google OS .. Google TV ... Google Netflix?
  You're so close to this one I can smell it.  With the advent of your hard-driveless operating system and the launching of Google TV, all this dilapidated redundancy in my house is frustrating.  With 1 desktop, 1 server, 2 laptops, and 2 external storage drives, Picasa and Google Apps, I feel I have the digital household makup that John Kerry would be envious of.  My family photos, videos, documents, music, and now recently, my backed up DVDs reside in multiple places and are often duplicated with no stapled method of organization.  I want all of this out of my hard drive and into one accessible place: the Internets.  No more purchasing a physical DVD.  Make it virtual.  Same price as an off-the-shelf DVD, but no physical media to speak of.  That way, there's only one copy of the movie in the world, but with millions of people owning the rights to it.  Your TV at home or in the car will access your purchased DVD online and on demand.  I think you're right there... Netlfix is almost there, but it's still just a rental, we don't own anything.  Hopefully your WebM video codec is an indication that this was your plan all along.
• Googlezon
  Credit for this goes to a former co-worker.  A Google shopping search gets unreliable results.  It's time to open your own web store and shipping centers and replace Amazon.com's supremacy.
• Google Entry
  QWERTY needs to die.  The English language is too complicated and cumbersome to be the ongoing solution to command input.  The console interface designers of Star Trek had it right.  We need a group of linguist and mathematicians to create a universal visual entry language.  One that uses sentence conjugations, tap-swipe entry, series and sequence patterns to develop a thought provoked input language.  This, integrated with our Google Pad (not trademarked... yet) will grant Gene Roddenberry an eternally restful slumber.
• Google Movers
  I need someone to come pack and move my house.  After doing it 11 times in 10 years, you would think I would be a pro.  However, it's quite the opposite.  Instead of becoming efficient at the task, I've become burnt out and often find excuses to avoid packing.  Things like writing an open blog letter 3 days before we move.

This entry came about as a tangent as my wife discussed how Apple is not the Apple that Steve Jobs created.  He wanted to "stick it to the man" and give consumers another option than buying a PC.  However, his interests have changed, along with his company.  His advancements in "iTechnology" have been fabulous, but now outwardly bashing Adobe Flash 10.1 and Google WebM codec make him more like Bill Gates version 2.0 .  MicroSoft is all but done, having created innovations, but lacking the commitment to follow through to the bigger picture.  They did it with Windows Media Center PCs, attempting to integrate the PC and media experience, but needing so many requirements to have it work just right.  They did it with MicroSoft Surface, but wanted too high a price that only larger corporations could pursue.  Now they're doing it again with the Kin.  A social networking tool that no doubt will repeat the MotoBlur experience.

It's up to Google to make our dreams realized.  They can get this cloud thing going and make the literal Universal network in our hands (let's not mention the SkyNet possibilities).  Our cell phones are almost our computers, car operating systems, garage door openers, remote controls, radios, and one day, mind control devices.

Have any more Google _____ ideas?  What's your take on the advancement toward a more simplified (yet complex) technological experience?  Are we heading down the wrong path or moving towards a more Utopian society?  Share your thoughts in the comments.
