Business 2.0 article on possible Google future scenarios

I read each month's Business 2.0 magazine from beginning to end.  This often requires several flushes, but B2 definitely earns its extended stay in the side-by magazine rack.  This month's issue--"The Smart List" cover--was particularly enjoyable, with a month-by-month breakout of the smartest business moves of 2005, plus a bonus 101 dumbest moves of 2005.  Chris Taylor contributed a highly entertaining piece titled "Imagining the Google Future" with four possible scenarios:

  1. Scenario 1 (Circa 2025): Google Is The Media
  2. Scenario 2 (Circa 2015): Google is the Internet
  3. Scenario 3 (Circa 2020): Google is Dead
  4. Scenario 4 (Circa 2105): Google is God

The article contained a fun futuristic graphic (reduced size below) that isn't available in the online version, at least I didn't see it.  Another reason to buy the magazine.  If you notice the guy's electronic newspaper, it contains a banner at the top saying, "ALERT. SF, 27, in cafe, wants to meet you..."  It's pretty obvious who triggered the alert, and I hope the guy doesn't need a banner alert to catch those signals.

YEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!!!!
