Google has broadened its scope and purchased Lift Labs, a company who develop specialised spoons to help eating, for its Google X program.
If you’ve ever worked in a serious research and development department, you’ll know that projects are very, very carefully vetted before you or anyone else is given permission to go ahead. That’s because most R&D department budgets are small. So what happens when you work at a company that has almost unlimited piles of cash?
These are the other projects Google is working on and they are being developed by Google’s secret group, Google X. Their job is to “make the world a better place” with the help of these products.
