谷歌挑戰全球重大問題？
2013/01/21
谷歌將挑戰一個國家。谷歌與中國政府進行對峙時也是如此。在2年前的埃及革命中，一個名叫Wael Ghonim的谷歌員工起到了非常重要的作用。

據悉，谷歌最近啟動了一項集中網絡上的智慧來解決地球上所有問題的計劃。所謂「問題」，包括政治、經濟、環境、貧困和戰爭等廣泛領域。
或許有人說這項計劃過於誇大。但是，回顧互聯網這一技術革新帶來的政治、經濟和社會變化可以發現，這個計劃絕不是誇大其詞，也不是不切實際的妄想。更確切地說，只有認真面對這些重大問題，才能開創充滿不確實性的未來，才能為商業帶來技術革新。
這種想法正逐步植根于美歐企業。在稱為favela的巴西貧民窟，瑞典愛立信正在推動人們使用手機和網絡，並取得了良好的效果。
愛立信似乎將行動視為了社會責任（CSR）投資的一環，而同時還具有另外一個好處——如果能夠利用智慧手機和個人電腦連接通信設備的居民增加，該公司的客戶基礎將來就將擴大。
不僅僅是企業。美國總統歐巴馬也提出了「開放政府」的理念，在網絡上傾聽眾多的呼聲，並積極推進信息公開。這些行動將促進Wi-Fi環境的普及和寬帶基礎 設施向農村地區擴大。此外，美國還打算將三維（3D）打印機引入小學課堂，以提高製造能力。三維打印機將決訂製造業的未來。
在挑戰重大問題的同時，將創造新的產業和需求。被認為只注重短期效益的美國式經營和政策實際上也在實施宏大的超長期投資。
政治風險諮詢公司歐亞集團（Eurasia Group）此前發佈了每年一度的「全球十大風險」。美歐企業的思維方式是轉換思維，將這些風險看做「應從正面挑戰的問題」。而谷歌正是在發起挑戰的最好案例。
