    "Ada Lovelace. There is much to admire about her: her strict analytical thinking coupled with the spirit of creative vision, which recognized a possibility for computers to do more than simply calculate at a time when it was considered revolutionary. Her ability to bridge between disciplines and see the connections between maths and science and even to poetry resonates within me. I also appreciate how she pursued intellectual passions in the face of huge gender barriers in her time."

I’d like to break down this by discussing impacts of post investment decisions for the Pixel handset lines at two levels of micro and macro evaluation, which will be able to lead us to an evidence-based answer of what I think Google should continue to invest and ramp up their investment to hit their target ROI. First, closely looking at micro aspects, Google’s business model is a so-called multisided platform, generating either free search engines and monetizing contents for Internet use"
