You can see lots of articles about it too.

TechCrunch: Google Believes Web Components Are The Future Of Web Development

Essentially, Web Components give developers an easier way to create web sites and recyclable widgets on these sites with the help of the HTML, CSS and JavaScript they already know. The ideas behind Web Components have been around for a while (and a few years back, Microsoft backed a similar initiative that never got any traction), but even today, this is still a topic that’s pretty foreign to most. Building large, single-page web apps with a smart component models isn’t easy today. Web Components help developer encapsulate they HTML, CSS and JavaScript so it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the page and the page doesn’t interfere with it.

Huffington Post: The Future of the Web As Seen From Google I/O Day Two

Web Components are an old idea that Google is building into Chrome so that the task of constructing web apps is simplified with reusable building blocks of HTML instead of requiring thousands of lines of custom JavaScript code. As a programmer I hate writing code. Every line of code is another potential bug, another thing to worry about, another bill that will eventually have to be paid. Google's Web Components let me define pieces of HTML and CSS that I can reuse without having to write lots of code. If the other browsers adopt Web Components then web apps will have better tested parts and far fewer bugs.
