The multinational tech giant, Google, has bought nest labs for a whooping $3.2 billion in cash. Nest is a company that specializes in home automated tech.

 

The devices they currently have on the market are a wifi enabled “smart” thermostat and an innovative smoke detector that sends notifications straight to your smartphone. Athletic Director Greg Hall said, ” I believe it’s a good purchase; now google can keep pushing that company forward and make it better.”

 

In order to use a nest products, you have to have a google+ account.

 

Some people say that Google is trying to control every aspect of our lives now that they have even more of their technology in our home and have our exact location, and if they create a surveillance system that would be very controversial. Smart home devices are a common trend and smart cameras being already.

 

Don’t be surprised if Nest releases a camera. Will just have to wait and see? Junior Sebastian Mora said ” I will never buy one of their products. I don’t want to be spied on.”

 

This has raised some concerns among buyers, will google take the brand to new places, or is it a recipe for failure
