Google Looking After the Youth

Can you imagine not having left home for college/university and still living with your parents? Aw, man, that would ultimately suck! It pains me to think about it...

Yet Google seems to endorse this type of life style that limits to the maximum the level of socializing you could be doing and your vices that you might be growing fond of. The latter isn't such a bad thing but still… It's living with your parents. No partying after 10 PM, no smoking, no alcohol allowed in the house, if it so happens that you should come home a little flustered you have to take a walk around the block so as you'll wake up first and only then go and go to sleep fully dressed and with your shoes on.

Furthermore, Google is trying to connect the parents to their offspring even more. The young are just a few minutes away from the parent's workplace so at any time they might be target to a surprise check. Doesn't that sound dreadful? And to further deepen the wound, the Mountain View based company also hired people specially to watch after the unsuspecting and helpless offspring. What happened to freedom and to the basic human rights? I demand to know!

What of the life of the kids? Oh, I did mention it was kids I was talking about, did I not? Infants. The Palo Alto Daily news reports that the review board unanimously approved Google's plan to open a new child care center. It's going to be a two-story, 18500 square foot building that will be able to "accommodate about 80 children of Google employees and 25 staff members."

Still, there'll be no dinking and no smoking for them any time soon. How are the poor children supposed to make friends?
