Google has even been in your unexpected place. Such as reCAPTCHA (verification code), a lot of websites and BBS use it to confirm whether you are a robot. (in 2009, Google acquisited reCAPTCHA.)  This is just Google many service of a blip. That we look at Google's present situation, start from the search filed, but never end with search.

search

Google is the king of the search, this is not new. Search is the solid foundation of Google empire

As is known to all, Google built up its business from search engine, search now is still its flagship business. But as the Google has been grown endlessly, it was like a octopus, keep the tentacles extended to every corners of the Internet. it is almost impossible for you not to touch any servers of Google when you surf the internet.

There may be a lot of assumptions: maybe Microsoft will be the worse than today? Maybe apple will go bankrupt? Also yahoo may be not a the world's most powerful company? If really no Google, what's the world will be like?

Apple

Then when talk about the Internet, we may not have to mention apple. Because apple has become strong enough. The competition between Google and apple is perhaps the most eye-catching in the field of Mobile phone operating system, People are always keen on comparing Android with cisco iOS. But we change an Angle to think: if no Google Maps, YouTube, and based on the Web application to the universal attention, the iPhone application will sell at a discount greatly. Perhaps iPhone will lose the important chips with blackberry.

Microsoft

If is Google is the light at the end of the tunnel, then the Microsoft is the darkness in the tunnel - everywhere but difficult to detect. If no Google, the spring of open source software will not come; Windows operating system will be still more than ever, desktop software will be as always important.

"Unlucky" is: Google brought the cloud computing concept and develop the rich servers base cloud computing,. If any service can be realized in the clouds, desktop application is going to be replaced by the clouds; this will be a direct threat to Window dominance of the operating system. Microsoft also had to face competition from Google, from the online edition of the Word out and Windows Azure.But we can see obviously: Google has been avoided a direct invasion of the core territory, people have been calling for Google to establish a system to shatter Window operating system, Chrome OS until recently with the development of Android and Microsoft challenge to Google.

Perhaps you might want to other competitors to challenge to Microsoft. But there is this kind of capital except Google who will?

Yahoo:

You can't forget it--once as Google biggest competitor, were now far out in the back. Yahoo has it all: sufficient capital, the wide range of users' foundation, a strong business. Really need a n insightful leader to lead it to success.

If no Google, yahoo could get the great development space in Internet field, and finally has become the most influential Internet enterprise - but not a Microsoft or Google. However, in fact because jerry Yang (yahoo founder) hesitating, yahoo has not continue past prosperity. Even in the fierce competition, yahoo also didn't take measures to improve their own, so as for the yahoo CEO even today didn't explain what her companies do.

Google brings us is much more than in the above, if really no Google we lifestyle will change, so we thank Google for our free information, the rich application. This also all show Google leadership for the Internet.

Other areas

1. The operating system - in addition to the successful Android, Google's Chrome OS outside was released. Although success remains to be seen, but it does have great potential.

2. The DNS - Google already start to support the DNS server, to replace an ISP. It is not difficult to imagine, Google will be in the future to expand its Google Public DNS service, to directly compete other similar services (such as OpenDNS)

A company have such high dominant in so many network related field. impress you? So, so,it is easy to see why someone joked that "Google is the Internet".
