The innovations will bring the power of the Web right to where the shopper can touch it.

The Web can make sales associates smarter, and augmented reality can deliver more information to the store shelves.

#Will the Internet of Thing replace the web? Apple stores can already pinpoint your location with unprecedented accuracy. 2014 will be the year that the##internet of things###that effort to remotely control every object on earth##becomes visible in our everyday lives.

#The web will#survive, just as email survived the arrival of the web. But its role will be reduced to that of a language for displaying content on screens,

which are likely to be more ubiquitous but less necessary. Here s a closer look at the internet of things that s already here,

For example,#every time we take a smartphone with us in a car, it beams information on our location and speed to Google.

and whatever other data Google and other companies have about us, leads to what#Amber Case, a researcher for mapping company Esri,#calls##invisible buttons.##

such as the time of day, our previous actions, the actions of others or what Google knows about our calendar,

#Google Now#is a good example of the potential of this technology. As long as you opt in, Google has access to every meaningful store of explicit data about yourself you create##email, contacts, calendars,

social media##and plenty of implicit ones as well, like your web-browsing history.##Adding location and other physical inputs#to that data allows Google Now to do everything from sending youhyperlocal news items targeted to the precise neighborhood in

which you live#to offering information about the television show#you re watching at that exact moment.

So what s required for more companies to tap into anticipatory computing? There are companies that specialize in reality mining,

##Esri s#Case said at last year s Le Web conference.####If you have to be a data scientist to do it, then it s totally wrong.##

#Google s new robot army Wildcat Google has purchased Boston Dynamics, the#lab of scientists#behind some of the most awesomely scary robots you have seen ever.

#Google announces Google Drive for Work with unlimited storage for businesses Google Drive for Work#will cost $10 per month

Google just announced a new product that will offer business users unlimited storage for a set monthly fee per user.#

##Google Drive for Work#will cost $10 per month and come with unlimited storage, as well as a full license for Gmail and Google Apps.

It s a huge change for Google, which previously had a maximum storage limit of 30gb per user for Google Apps,

with extra storage tiers starting at $1. 99 per month for 100gb and going up to 30tb for $300(!)

per month. No more. Now every user will have unlimited storage, with no catches. Google is also increasing the maximum file size to 5tb larger than the largest hard drive on any PC available today.

I asked Google Drive product manager Scott Johnston what type of file could possibly run into the previous 1tb limit,

and he suggested high-defintion video (like 4k from a Gopro camera) or exceptionally large data files the kind of files usually stored on servers.

Johnston told me that Google absolutely intends to offer feature parity between mobile and web,

and web close significantly, Johnston told me. We ll march in lockstop with Android and ios

Johnston also emphasized that Drive is not exclusively for Google Apps customers, but will be catered to all companies,

Google is also addressing some longstanding complaints with Google Apps and Office file compatibility by integrating Quickoffice, acquired more than a year ago, into the suite.

Now, users will be able to edit Microsoft-formatted files directly within Google Apps without converting them to Google s file formats.

but Google Apps director of product management Ryan Tabone promises that round-tripping will be more reliable in these cases.

Google Apps is also getting revision tracking and commenting, another long-overdue feature inherited from Quickoffice.

In addition to making storage size irrelevant, Google is also offering features designed to reassure IT managers who might be nervous about moving files to the cloud,

On the security front, Google will offer encryption at rest on its servers. In addition to encryption in transit and between data centers,

Overall, the improvements are an important indication that Google has given not up on the enterprise. The Apps suite has been pretty static for the last couple of years,

and it seemed that Larry page was satisfied to keep the product around as a decent side business (advertising still makes up 90%of Google s more than $40 billion in annual revenue) and a thorn in Microsoft s side,

but didn t think of it as a core part of Google s larger strategy. Today s announcements,

show in fact that Google won t cede any part of its enterprise cloud business to newcomers. You shouldn t expect Google to get into verticals like CRM or HR management,

but as far as broad-based infrastructure and horizontal Saas offerings go, Google is in the enterprise game to stay.
