Google's products and services are very diverse. Google is able to provide citizens with a number of products: "newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays, novels -- with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise"
...even a dictionary if you need one. One that can give you New words to Speak a new language.
Google has "a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment" and If you are skilled with the search engine, you can find "newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means" if you are just willing to spend the time searching for the truth.
Google has so much reach and acess that it could probably even be used to manipulate public opinion if someone chose to do so.
...but that will never happen in this day and age - we are too smart to be fooled that easily.
Besides, the information managers at Google work extra hard to be certain that the "process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs -- to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance." We only want to have the very best and most current significant facts !!!!
WAIT...
... I feel like I have seen this same scenario played out in my head someone before. It's like I remember it from 34 years ago, but my memory "faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain."
Oh well, I was going to comment on the beautiful scenery in Anaheim but I forgot what I was going to say.
