Google: Behind the screen

Summary: This documentary provides an in-depth look into the world of Google and how it is achieving its goals. It investigates whether Google is aware of the responsibility it has, being the guard to the entire world's information, including personal information about its users. Google appears to have the best intentions, but there are also claims that Google is slowly turning into Big Brother, keeping track of its users' surfing behavior, and making decisions about the information it provides to an ever-growing user community. The question is, will Google continue to serve as a middleman that brings all useful information to the people, or will it turn into a monopolistic Big Brother that challenges the freedom of information?

"To organize the world's information--that appears to be Google's aim. What does such a goal involve, exactly? What are the implications for academia and creative people? For business, the media, and society at large? This program seeks answers to those questions by going behind the scenes at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, as well as the company's London offices. A conversation with Vint Cerf, Internet pioneer and Google's "Chief Internet Evangelist," sheds light on search engine innovations and Google's role in advancing them.
