GOOGLE "X"

                                     Google get underway as a web search engine company and  had stunning growth in both revenue and business, ultimately turning into the technology monster we know today. Some of their initiatives like search engine, mail services, maps and navigation are frequently used by people across the world. 

THE "X" FACTOR

                                     Google X comprises of a group of people working on radical and sci-fi technologies aimed at solving some of the challenging issues the world is facing now. Though much of the projects are still in their early stages, few have started their prototype testing (Google Glass project). The ambitious experiments carried out at the Google X facility, require generous capitals, willingness to take apart and redesign things and above all, faith in great quantity.

                                     The Google X secret research lab is said to be located somewhere in San Francisco. The lab is known to support advanced robotics experiments as well as new age conceptual experiments. The ultimate goal of all robotics related studies are a future towards a “i-Robot” like scenario, where machines will be able to work independently without supervision.

DREAM ON AIR

                              The Google X team has revealed a plan to send Internet beaming helium balloons to the edge of space. The technology giant released up to 30 balloons carrying antennae linked to ground stations, an ambitious plan aimed at providing Internet access to around two-thirds of the global population, currently without web access.

                              The first of the series test balloons were released near Christ Church in New Zealand around the 3rd week of June 2013 with around 50 volunteer households already getting connected to the Internet through their home PCs. The ambitious “Project Loon” termed initiative includes ground stations connected to local Internet infrastructure beaming signals to a network of solar powered balloons placed near the stratosphere. Signals beamed back from the balloons (using mounted transmitter) will be caught by the consumer household antennae. Google X has reported plans to extend the project to more regions including Australia, South Africa and Argentina.
