​​💰 The Future of Google's Revenue #Google introduced several new products at its big hardware event on Tuesday. Among the devices were the new Pixel 3 phones, a new tablet called Pixel Slate and a smart home device called Google Home Hub. While Google’s hardware ambitions are still limited and widely considered a means to an end (which is to collect more data and sell more advertising), the range of the company’s products and services has widened significantly over the years (with companies such as Access, Calico, CapitalG, GV, Nest, Verily, #Waymo and X). #Google’s many side-activities have steadily grown over the years and in 2017, the company’s non-advertising revenue reached $15.5 billion, up from just $667 million in 2008. More importantly though, the percentage of Google’s revenue that didn’t come from advertising sales grew from 3.1% in 2008 to 14% last year, indicating that the search giant can no longer be considered a one trick pony. 🚀@PerspectiveIX via Statista. ❓Do you own any Google-made hardware/device?
