Up next, the mobile decade. Michael Jones spends a lot of his time reading the proverbial technology tea leaves. As the chief technology advocate for Google Inc., it's up to Mr. Jones to think big and help keep the world's most powerful Internet company on the cutting edge. He helped design Google Earth.
