Wednesday September 24th, 2008 Google announced their new project 10^100, which will be used to survey the general public for new ideas that help people around the world. They want the project to benefit as many people as possible all around the world. In February 2009, Google will select judges to choose five winning ideas from the plethora of ideas. The winning ideas will then be given an equal amount of money from a pool of 10 million dollars in order to begin implementation.
I think this is a wonderful idea. This will give millions of people around the world the chance to give their ideas a try. So many people have great ideas that will never be put into effect for lack of funding, and this project will give them a chance to make their dream a reality.
With this, the possibilities are endless. Google’s spokesperson said that they don’t want to limit people, they want ideas from every background, from every walk of life. Since this is so open ended, any idea is more than welcome. I think this is such an amazing opportunity, that everybody should contribute an idea. It couldn’t hurt. Just think, every little contribution has some potential, even if the idea isn’t one of the final choices, entering it into a competition such as this would give it life, and possibly start the ball rolling. All you need is a little bit of determination, and a creative mind. Everyone has some sort of impact, now lets get out there and change the world!
