This is actually a really cool video from Google recently where a viewer asked Matt Cutts where they see Google in 5 years. With the lighting speed of this industry 5 years from now could look completely different from today and it most likely will. Matt states that he would like to see more of Google be open sourced and really get the community involved on the development. He also sees security becoming a very important topic, even more so than it already is. Hackers are getting quicker and smarter and the security will come down to the server level rather than the website level.
Check out the cool video about where Google will be in 5 years:
A great emphasis will also be put on having a variety of tools and communication efforts on the cloud. As security tightens across the board people will want to be able to access their information regardless where they are or what computer they are using. Either way Google as a whole in 5 years will most likely continue to amaze the business community with their developments.
