Social and Cultural Factors
Google has a large role in American Culture. Many people can often be seen taking part in activities associated with Google. This is partly because people of most ages can be involved and families are brought together by this. Generally a person who displays their dislike for Google may be considered an outcast.
Economic Factors
It is not common practice to associate economics with Google. Generally, Google would be thought to have no effect on our economic situation, but there are in fact some effects. The sales industry associated with Google is actually a 2.3 billion dollar a year industry and growing each year. The industry employs nearly 150,000 people in the United States alone. It would be safe to say that Google play an important role in American economics and shouldn't be taken for granted.
Environmental Factors
After a three month long research project, I've been able to conclude that Google doesn't negatively effect the environment at all. A Google did not seem to result in waste products and couldn't be found in forests, jungles, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc... In fact, Google produced some positive effects on our sweet little nature.
Political Factors
Oh does Google ever influence politics. Last year 5 candidates running for some sort of position used Google as the primary topic of their campaign. A person might think Google would be a bad topic to lead a campaign with, but in fact with the social and environmental impact is has, this topic was able to gain a great number of followers. These 5 candidates went 4 for 5 on winning their positions.
Conclusion
Google seem to be a much more important idea that most give credit for. Next time you see or think of Google, think about what you just read and realize what is really going on. It is likely you under valued Google before, but will now start to give the credited needed and deserved.
