Founded by two Stanford University students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin says Oded Gold, Google has become the largest technology company in the world. It offers a wide range of products, including YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps. These products have shaped the world as we know it.

The name Google is a play on the mathematical term "googol" – a number of one followed by 100 zeroes. In 2009, the internet was 'broken' by a Google programmer.

In 2006, Google bought the online video sharing website YouTube for a staggering $1.5 billion. At the time, YouTube had nearly 2 billion monthly users. The company has since expanded to offer a variety of other services, including 360-degree views of Mount Everest.

Aside from its core search engine, Google has also developed a mobile operating system and an artificial intelligence platform. It has acquired numerous companies throughout its history, including Waze, Earth Viewer, and YouTube. It is even developing a streaming gaming platform. The company's goal is to provide a complete web experience.

Despite the fact that Google is now the world's most visited website, it was not a big company at the start. In 1997, when it was launched, it was just a research project. In the early days of Google, it could index 30-50 pages per second, which was substantially slower than it is today. The first version of Google had an exclamation mark in its logo.

The first Google server was stored in a Lego case. It was designed to be extendable. It also had a nifty little feature: it was programmed to detect words from books even if they were warped. It was a smart move.

The company's e-mail service, Gmail, was launched on April Fool's Day in 2004. It was initially used by the company's employees, before being made available to the public. During that time, the company was competing with Apple's iPhone. In 2007, Google began planning to release its own mobile phones. In 2010, the company shifted its focus towards acquiring businesses. It has since acquired over 230 businesses and its market capitalization has skyrocketed to $400 billion.

The search algorithms that Google uses are so sophisticated that they learn from your searches. In 2010, it became the first company to be entirely powered by renewable energy. It recycles all its electronic equipment. It even rents out goats to keep its lawns green.

The original Google website was also the first to be'responsive,' meaning that it would adjust to the user's screen size. The company has also become one of the most creative companies in the world. Aside from the traditional website, it has a variety of products, including a game that allows you to fly into space.

Aside from being the most popular search engine in the world, Google has also changed the way the Internet works. For example, Google News was introduced in September 2002.
