In a blog post on its 25th birthday, Google reflected on the importance of looking back. Google originated when PhD students Sergey Brin and Larry Page met at Stanford University’s computer science department in the late 1990s. They shared a goal of improving Web accessibility.
Google’s Birth: Dorm Rooms to Garages
Brin and Page tirelessly developed a more efficient search engine prototype in their dorm rooms. As progress accelerated, they moved to Google’s first headquarters, a rented garage. These events culminated in Google Inc.’s founding on September 27, 1998.
25 years, one goal: accessibility and utility
Although much has changed since that important year, including the anniversary doodle design, Google’s aim remains: to organize and make information universally accessible and useful. Google thanked users for their 25 years of support and looked forward to the future in a touching message.
Google’s founding philosophy: organizing information for all
The clever word “Google” is a play on a mathematical phrase for 1 through 100 zeroes. To organize and make the world’s information accessible and valuable was Brin and Page’s goal.
Search Engines to AI and Beyond
Google, based in Mountain View, California, has expanded beyond its search engine. The company now explores AI, internet advertising, cloud computing, and other cutting-edge technologies. Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai is from India.
Conclusion:-
Google celebrated its 25th birthday by reviewing its history and goals. PhD students Sergey Brin and Larry Page founded the company to make the Web more accessible. They developed a more efficient search engine and moved to Google’s first offices in a rented garage. Google’s purpose has always been to organize and make information accessible and useful. Mathematically, “Google,” is 1 followed by 100 zeroes. Google now offers AI, internet advertising, cloud computing, and other cutting-edge technologies in addition to search engines. Sundar Pichai runs Alphabet and Google.
