It seems that Google has been in the news every day with a new business deal, partnership or product offering. They’ve created a lot of Buzz … literally. That’s all well and good. But what I really want to see is a Google Store.
I can’t think of anything more useful or fun than what Google could put in a store. Just imagine!
Of course it would be decorated in primary colors and the store logo would morph according to the nearest obscure holiday. As you walk into the store, the shelves would arrange themselves by your interests and there would be little holographic ads following you everywhere … which you simply learn to ignore, of course.
Best of all, everything would be free. No … that’s so 2009. By the time the store opens, Google would certainly find a way that they could PAY you to come to the store and take their stuff away. Maybe all you would have to do is agree to have those holographic ads follow you home for a few days.
The only thing that might get on my nerves is that the service might almost be too good. I can imagine a conversation with a Google service agent going like this:
Me: Excuse me. Would I be allowed …
Google: Did you mean “aloud?”
Me: No, I want to know if I can browse …
Google: Did you mean “brows?”
Me: What?? Stop that.
Google: Did you mean “Stop gap?”
That could get annoying. Microsoft recently announced it would open retail stores to compete with Apple. I wonder what that experience woulos be like …
Me: I would like to see a demo of your new word processing software.
MS: You are requesting permission to see our software.
Me: Yes, I am.
MS: Will you permit me to receive permission to show you this demo?
Me: Of course!
MS: I am now wanting to give you a demonstration. Will you allow me to give you this demonstration?
Me: Get on with it!
MS: One moment while I re-start.
Well … maybe I’ll just shop from home.
