What ever happened to just "Google: The Search Engine"

Remember when Google was just a popular search engine that existed only on the web and in software? Over the years we have seen this once harmless search engine site turn into a borderline megalomaniac, world-wide company. Google Glasses, Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Video, Google Books, Google Now. In total, it seems like Google is really attempting to label and spy on everything and anything in the world. They even bought YouTube. They also have their hands dipped into hardware such as phones and tablets. What comes next seems cloudy and uncertain. Hopefully we don't regret the creating of such tools that make it easier to find anyone and anything instantaneously.
