15 years
My favourite rant used to be about Google as Big Brother, and it's becoming more true every day, but they've won me over too.
I use google apps for my personal email, calendar, documents and since I've changed, I've never looked back.
I use a lot of Google's tools at the moment, but in 10 to 20 years there may be a serious price. :)
(Google won't always be directed by a couple of Stanford students, but all of our data will still be there.)
See also some of Google's other creepy ideas:
Google eavesdropping technology
Google now has access to your medical perscriptions
It looks like they're even planning to index your DNA
IMHO, there are many nice, well-meaning people at Google, but it's impossible not to be evil when there is that much personal data involved. :)
