A lot of people have known Google only to be a search engine company or the company that had given them the possibility of the Android OS. But Google is doing way more than search engines and Android, Google seems to be doing things people might need in years to come.
In this article, we will share some Google projects you probably don't know are underway. These are great work from Google company.
1. Project Loon
The project loon is a Google project that is meant to provide internet to areas without access to the internet using weather balloons. The balloons will hover in the stratosphere and send wireless signal to devices below .
2 : An Army Of Robotics
We have probably heard of robots serving foods in some parts of Japan, and a robot that got married recently. Well, Google has been working on a special kind of robotics that might be used in combats and also robots with emotions. The company has in the past bought out different robotics companies.
3: Google Self-Driving Cars
These cars have been on the street different times and also in the news. The projects were already a success and have been used for taking the Google street view. Well, information has it that these cars might start replacing the cars on our street, probably as a Taxi.
Imagine this car, Uber or Grab Taxi on your phone. That is, Wait for it, keep waiting-----Legendary...Legendary.
4: Project Ara
The first time i saw a video of these modular phones, i was blown away. They were seeking for funds to get this phone to the market. A phone you can replace any of its parts whenever you desire to do so. You thought your apps are cool or your sleek iPhones are cool...
These phones are the future. When i heard Google is now in control, well, i guess no more crowd funding. Else I would have funded the project personally myself, but i guess they are safe with Google.
Moreover in Yoruba, a language often spoken by the South Westpart of Nigeria, "Ara" means Wonder

6: Liftware
Google also does something for people with Parkinson's disease. It is the Liftware. This spoon helps people suffering with the disease because of the hand's shaking, the liftware will automatically access the tremor and helps to stabilize the hands. Now everybody can all eat together on the table as family, without the frustration of feeding or eating your food. The journey of hand to mouth is once again simplified with Google.
See a video of the spoon in action
7. Google Contact Lenses
While a lot of people might have thought Google glasses had failed with his Google glass project, instead Google brings out a new idea from the Google glass project and called it the "Google contact lenses". This is to help check the blood sugar level of diabetic patients without puncturing their skin for blood.
7: Lunar XPRIZE
Google is checking out all industries, and space exploration is not left out with its project "LUNAR XPRIZE". The tech giant recently purchased an airfield from NASA to allow it test, develop and train on the airfield.
8:Makani
Just like the "Project Loon", the Makani project is a wind turbine in the sky, and Google is hoping it should generate electricity. Which means, this would be saving us a lot of land space. Cool, huh?.
9: Calico
Looks like Google and Dr Dr. Arthur Levinson are going to make Jay-Z and Mr Hudson dreams come true, remember their song "Forever young, i want to be forever young, do you want to live forever",
The team at Google are working on a way to slow down the human being aging process, and this may be the key to human immortality.
10: Project Tango
We are all familiar with Google map and satellite before now, but Google seems to be working on a project that can detect user's location at a precise level yet. This is the next big step in Google map, and the project is called, "Tango"
