Google Barges: Places “Where People Can Learn About New Technology”
November 6th, 2013Via: TechCrunch:
Google has issued a statement (finally?) about its months-long mystery barge project. The barges, which are anchored in both Portland, Maine and San Francisco, have been the topic of intense interest since multiple reports surfaced last month.
A Google spokesperson told TechCrunch that the barges are ‘an interactive space’ to teach people about its technology:
Google Barge … A floating data center? A wild party boat? A barge housing the last remaining dinosaur? Sadly, none of the above. Although it’s still early days and things may change, we’re exploring using the barge as an interactive space where people can learn about new technology.
