A world without Google Services


The blog is incomplete & I will add content to it as I get more precise information that I'm looking for meanwhile feel free to read & give feedback.


I read following article :- https://www.gizchina.com/2020/01/30/huawei-will-not-use-google-services-again-even-if-the-ban-is-lifted/
After reading the article my first reaction to my friend 'Pranay Oswal' who posted the article in the WhatsApp group was this:
🤣🤣🤣 as if they are doing a favor on google

I mean seriously, is it a joke to build an ecosystem as big & popular on a global scale to compete with google ?
With a lot of struggle it took 15 Years for google to build & get people addicted to their ecosystem; a new player just can't do it.

Microsoft offered equivalent services way before google was even a competition still they haven't been able to get the services popularized among their windows PC users.

Early 2000s Microsoft had msn.
A browser with news & video website that acted as part search engine; which surprisingly offered email service as well !

In a nutshell it provided their version of following goole services:-
Google Chrome
Gmail
Google News
Google search
YouTube

Even with modern revolution of Microsoft they took everything to could including their proprietary microsoft office, onedrive & bing as crappy search engine as an answer to google drive & docs yet most population even Microsoft business user's don't use it the way they are supposed to. Microsoft's presence has significantly reduced to an OS + Office software provider merely a tool company that failed to impress Young generation

Today we surely have high speed internet & 4G mobile data connectivity even at remote places we can access internet but there's a gigantic problem which is people don't like to change.

We live in a world where
yahoomail | rediffmail | outlook/hotmail & dozens of other email services are available for free, even though a new user or even a user who wants a secondary email will always & does prefer Gmail !
Reason: Simplicity, Familiarity & why do the unnecessary R&D ?

You have Facebook, Instagram & mujra apps (you know what I mean) for videos but all combined together can & will not come nearby what YouTube offers.

YouTube is a dedicated platform for videos while others are social media there's a big difference.

Huawei's ambitions may work in China, as china has banned almost all google services & they have their own versions of google services.

Growth of china has stopped since 2016 china is consistently losing business & foreign investments in their own country; which is why they've been expanding to African,  European & they've already captured south east Asian countries.

An individual company investing money is one thing & a government sponsored company investing is other & the other thing is very very bad. Huawei a chinese Tech Giant which has its deep ties with communist chinese government, many have considered Huawei to be owned and controlled by the Chinese government.

I read somewhere or watched a video can't remember exactly what it was but it goes like this: China has built infrastructure in Sri Lanka by offering loans so high that even in next 50 years sri lanka won't be able to repay.

If the respective country fails to repay the loan China will simply take over & colonize long before the natives could do anything about it.

What huawei intends to do Globally, without google is going to be a loss for them not for us; as they do not have a significant presence in India.Well, at least as a Cell phone manufacturer & seller.

The Change

In these recent times I've learnt that the change is inevitable. Whether you like it or not  you can not stop it! Either you can be part of it or get thrown in the dark corner! If we look back into history of mankind communicating with each other , the different methods  were evolved at much slower pace. We used Cave paintings, Signs, Scripts, Sculptures, Pigeon, Horse, Scrolls, News Paper, Telegraph, Telephone, Radio Signal, Television, Internet, WWW, Instant Messaging, Blogging, Social Media. However the things are changing at exponential rate specially the communication devices used. Day by day our use of mobile communication is changing. Making a just phone call from your cellphone is probably the least reason you use it. If  you do not believe then take a break and go check the call history and minutes you've spoken in last day, week or month if you can on your! Let me run you through imaginative simulation of series of the things you may consider ...
