As I sat down to watch the opening keynote for Google I/O 2025 yesterday, I glanced out the window behind my computer. It was a cold, rainy, and overall gloomy day. A gray sky hid any trace of the sun. A frigid breeze and a constant drizzle squashed my hopes of an afternoon run or a long walk with my dog.
It was a perfect illustration of how Google’s two-hour keynote would make me feel throughout its entire runtime.
