VIDEO: Jeff Jarvis defends Google

Jeff Jarvis, who’s book “What Would Google Do?” comes out in mid-January, takes part in a debate in which he defends Google as not just an important facet of today’s world but as a leader in technology, innovation and journalism.

My favorite part is when he states that technology has not made us less communicative but has made us “hyper communicative.” He’s right when he says that, unlike those in his generation, people in ours will now have the capability to stay in contact with one another throughout the entire course of their lives…because of Google. Think about that. What a powerful notion.
