Is Google Good? - Why we need to create societal balance sheets to measure the impact of big tech

I start this journal off talking about what we can learn and apply from hunter gatherer cultures: egalitarianism. I also ask questions about whether Google is net good for society. Though they have created massive value in the way of making knowledge more accessible, there is not much talk about the role they have played in the proliferation of 'alternative facts' and extremism; this is in addition to problems of data privacy, data collection, and data usage.  I eventually nerd out about water and the potential for *emergence* to be a better method of creating true artificial intelligence.
