These days, it feels like Google is everywhere. It's in your browser, smart home assistant, phone, thermostat and an endless list of other omnipresent devices. How did Google get here and where could it possibly be headed in the future? 

We spoke with patent attorney Robert Sachs, who examined several patents and patent applications that Google has on file at the US Patent and Trademark Office. Sachs then gave us his opinion on whether he thought such products would work or fail. 

Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
