GOOGLE I/O 2021 SUMMARY

Due to Corona, Google I / O was held in 2 years. Google I/O 2021 In the keynote, we announced a number of changes to Google.

Software and hardware are integrated into one design language called Material You. The screen color, lock screen, and widgets are automatically set to match the smartphone wallpaper. You can check whether your location information and camera information are being used on the privacy dashboard. I think it is a preparation to gain trust in the privacy risks of large IT companies and in the future in new technologies such as AI.
