Must Watch: Google World on CBC.ca's Doc Zone

For those who missed last week's Google World documentary on CBC's Doc Zone you can watch it online. This gives an insighful and detailed look at Google, its origins and its culture as well as the extent and scope of its global reach in a number of key industries within technology.

Filmed in Google offices in China, Russia and at the Googleplex, its Silicon Valley headquarters, the documentary reveals a corporate philosophy and attitude unique among major companies today. Beyond its "Don't be evil" motto, Google has set as its goal "to organize all the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" and to do it in the next 300 years. This is a must see video for anyone who wants to know what Google is all about.
