In your final case study, you will analyze five Google technologies that are current under research and development, including the self-driving automobile and four other technologies of your choice. The last chapter of your textbook discusses the search and advertising technologies of Google. While Google is best known for their search and advertising technologies, they also have a multi-billion dollar research and development department that works on cutting edge technologies ranging from self-driving automobiles to renewable energy. For your final case study, you will research 4 technologies (in addition to the self-driving automobile) that Google is currently developing, other than the search, advertising, and Gmail features that we are already familiar with.

Google technologies currently in research and development include:
1.Self-driving automobile
2.Project Wing (a drone delivery project)
3.Google Fiber
4.Smart Contact Lenses
5.Google Glass
6.Project Loon (providing Internet service via balloon)
7.Home Automation and Smart Thermostats (Google Nest)
