Google invests in various research and development projects including: 1. Using data to predict future events through a company called Recorded Future. 2. Funding cancer research by fusing genetic data to develop new treatment methods. 3. Creating "smart thermostats" like NEST that learn user preferences to save energy costs. 4. Insuring farmers against weather threats through The Climate Corporation.

1. Top 10
Google R&D
Projects

2. NUMBER ONE Future Prediction

3. Google have another Google
investment in the form of Recorded
Future which is a company that
seeks out to parse or browse
through the universe of information
that’s found online to find some
clues of what may possibly happen
soon.
NUMBER ONE Future Prediction

4. NUMBER TWO
Cancer
Treatments

5. Being one of the many do-
good themes in Google’s
investments, Google
Ventures actually funds
the Foundation
Medicine which fuses the
genomic or genetic
structure and molecular
data. A Google’s step to
create new ways to
counter cancer and find
also new concepts of
treating cancer victims.
For Google cancer is
another so-called
engineering problem.
NUMBER TWO Cancer Treatments

6. NUMBER THREE
Smart
Thermostats

7. NUMBER THREE Smart Thermostats
Google’s future involves
making everything
smarter. Google is
planning to make
thermostats where it’s an
idea that’s a driving force
behind NEST which is the
sci-fi climate control
system. This thermostat
would learn the best ways
to keep your home
comfortable and also at
the same time, would
save lots of cash from
energy bill expenses.

8. NUMBER FOUR
Climate Change
Insurance

9. NUMBER FOUR Climate Change Insurance
Google has a lot of
companies under its
wing, and one of those is
The Climate Corporation.
They have plans to sell
weather insurance to
farmers in order to
protect their businesses
which is the production of
vegetables, fruits and the
like from any
unpredictable conditions
and extreme weather
which can be degrading
to the fresh produce.

10. NUMBER FIVE
Medical
Improvements

11. Google’s R&D division is very
interested in finding ways how to
improve the human health. The
Google Company, iPierian happens
to use technology known as
“cellular reprogramming” which
allows them to create new drugs
and counter diseases through
changing or modifying the cells.
NUMBER FIVE Medical Improvements

12. NUMBER SIX
Clean Energy

13. NUMBER SIX Clean Energy
Google is very fascinated in
exploring more means to
make a better environment
for living and in this case;
they’re looking for Clean
Energy. Google is aiming to
develop renewable energy
sources through the use of
renewable resources such as
wind, water, solar energy
and geothermal energy. Also,
the main goal is to find other
sources of fuel wherein coal
can be replaced with cleaner
alternatives.

14. NUMBER SEVEN
Space
Elevators

15. NUMBER SEVEN Space Elevators
Google is also interested in
establishing infrastructure
that would allow people to
leave Earth without the use
of rocket ships. This is also
another project being done
by Google X wherein they’ll
run a ribbon or a structure
in Earth that reaches up to a
counterweight deployed in-
orbit which can be used by
people for easier access to
space and the same time
would help in various
scientific experimentations
and ventures.

16. 8.
Driverless Cars
NUMBER EIGHT
Driverless Cars

17. NUMBER EIGHT Driverless Cars
It may sound farfetched at
first but this is what also
Google is doing research on.
For them, cars aren’t just a
media of transportation;
they’re also a problem in
engineering that is to be
solved through lots of data
and cash. This idea rooted
from the use of Google
Maps, perhaps if a car
would be just given the
details about your
destination; maybe the
system would just drive its
way to there for you.

18. NUMBER NINE
Robotics

19. NUMBER NINE Robotics
There’s a research
splinter in Google known
as “Google X”. This
secret research splinter
or division is trying to
build bots that can
perform all sorts of tasks
ranging from home
duties and office tasks
which allow humans to
have greater flexibility to
prioritize higher-level
works or to work
remotely.

20. 10.
Home Automation via
Android
NUMBER TEN
Home Automation

21. NUMBER TEN Home Automation
We all know Android is the
system that most iPhones use
nowadays, but apparently
Google wants to expand the
use of Android into more
convenient uses. That’s right,
Google is doing expansive
research in order to make
Android be usable for
automating things at home. So
far, Android @Home has the
capability to turn on lights or
activate coffee machines at
home and more features are
going to be added which are
still in the works.

22. Thank You!
