Google X

It's called Google X, and many of us are wondering what in the world Google might be up to, given the company's rich history of technological innovation and quirkiness. Google X has a top-secret lab on the search giant's campus in Mountain View, California.

According to the report, Google is tackling a list of 100 “shoot-for-the-stars ideas.” If Google already has self-driving cars, what kinds of things could this mean? A few things mentioned in the piece include: web-connected refrigerator and plates, robots, and space elevators. Apparently, many of the projects involve robots.

Google X is the place where Google works on the driverless car and New York Times reports that Google is considering manufacturing the cars in the US. Many projects are related to Android at home, an initiative announced this year that tries to make everyday objects smarter. "We want to think of every appliance in your home as a potential I/O device," said Google's Joe Britt. Google tries to build the "Web of things" by connecting home accessories, wearable objects to the Internet.

But who knows just what is going on inside Google X? The company is reportedly pretty hush hush about it even internally. Of course, who can blame them with incidents like "before", where Google employees share messages intended for internal eyes only with the whole world?

Who knows what Google is working on that is “top secret” and wouldn’t want to get leaked, and with robots? A company of this magnitude, with the resources it has, and the thinking out of the box attitude displayed repeatedly throughout its history could be up to just about anything.
I don’t want to sound like a paranoid Sci-Fi nut here, butit does reminds me of Terminator.
Haha... :p
