"But we will all be taken down with it."

I thought Google wasn't up to much these days, and then I realized that it is hard at work shaping our digital future... in Europe! With greater broadband penetration and all-digital cell phone networks, it is apparently an ideal place to try out new ideas and technologies. Like what? Targeted ads on your TV based on your AdWords-determined profile (receive a message from your mom about "Bermuda vacation" in your Gmail and you'll get served an ad for flights to Aruba during 'ER' that night) and enhanced phones that "hold the Internet in your pocket" (coupled with a GPS phone, this could use Google Local to automatically tell you what restaurants are in your area).
