Part 10/12:
- Global GDP and Population Growth: Since the 1980s, the world’s population has nearly doubled, yet global GDP growth has been uneven. Key regions like South Asia continue outpacing others, while Europe’s economy faces headwinds, partly due to the Russian gas crisis impacting countries like Hungary and Italy.
Challenges and Risks
- Technical and Policy Risks: Google's plan to develop its own hardware, amid fierce competition from Apple and Samsung, could drain resources and slow innovation. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, especially China's saber-rattling towards Taiwan, and economic slowdown concerns, pose ongoing risks to growth.
