What is Google?

Google is an American technology company focusing on artificial intelligence, search engine tech, quantum computing, and e-commerce.

Check out these interesting facts about Google:

The original name for Google was Backrub.
Google averages 8.5 billion searches per day.
Many label Google as the most powerful company in the world.

How was Google created?

Google was created in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

The pair were Ph.D. students at Stanford University who started the company from scratch.

The tech giant has grown to offer many services beyond the search engine.

Google offers email, cloud services, navigation, operating systems, video sharing, and web browsing.

Who runs Google today?

When companies grow, they also shift.

Google is no different in this respect.

In 2015, Sundar Pichai replaced Larry Page as CEO of the company.

A cultural shift

I am old enough to remember a few things about Google’s history:

I remember when Yahoo, HotBot, and other search engines were still popular.

I remember when Gmail was by invite only.

When I was pursuing my first Master’s degree, a colleague laughed at me because he had unlimited storage with Gmail, and my inbox was full.

I remember when people said, “I look it up on the internet,” as opposed to “I Googled it.”

It seems like a lifetime ago, but Google has assured its dominance over the competition.

People use the word “Google” as a verb to describe internet searches.

The future of Google

Google has established itself as a globally dominant company.

As the world of technology shifts and Artificial Intelligence becomes more intelligent, Google will be right there, growing with the advances.
