Google收购Nest 打造家庭数据中心

The deal means Google could be in parts of your home that it's never been to before, and the firm will have access to data from every nook and cranny.Now allow me to show you around the house that Google built.

Come on in, we start in the library. Now, Google in the library has access to all of Nest products, the smart thermostats, the smoke alarms that we heard about. In fact, Google now knows when you're at home, how many people are there, and how much power you're using, and if something goes wrong.

- Heads up. There's smoke in the dining room.

Smoke in the dining room in the Google House? Then we better head immediately to the living room. And in the living room, we find a Google integrated TV, Chromecast, which will offer online streaming of movies and videos. Google knows viewing habits, favorite TV shows. Google knows what we are watching.

Never anything decent on television these days. On to the kitchen, and here, Google has filed patents so that Google Glass can control appliances in my kitchen. It could set the temperature in the fridge, provide recipes, give reminders on recipes, and also take me on my grocery shopping.

If you think it's the living room and the kitchen, you will get no escape when you go out to the garage. The garage, where even here, Google is now involved. It has, of course, the driverless car. That car uses video cameras, radio sensors, to move around. In short, Google knows when you're leaving, where you're going, probably who's with you and why you're going there in the first place.
