Google Search
I am a big googler. I will google everything and anything, it's fair to say I've learned about half the stuff i know today from googling it. It's hard to imagine that once upon a time google did not exist and people had to surf the internet with categorical lists. I can't imagine having to aimlessly search from site to site instead of "feeling lucky." Google puts any answer at your fingertips in less than a second. Larry Page and Sergey Brin made it possible to do all these things instantly. Its crazy to think that this amazing engine was created during my lifetime! Google was created in 1998 in Cali by Stanford Students (surprise, surpriseee...) 12 years ago seems like not so long. Google transformed the way to surf the internet and contributed to its growth and mass appeal. If it wasn't for google putting all these websites from all over the world at our fingertips, the internet would not be as popular as it is today. Over the years, google has added many services that we now take for granted. This Blog itself is possible because of google. Besides my love for google because of its usefulness, i admire that their 'unofficial' company logo is "Don't Be Evil." In a world where money rules all, even though google makes millions and billions of dollars, they don't buy into corporate evil. Instead of going for short term profits, they take their time with things and don't rush just to make money. Google is classified as one of he best companies to work for because they keep their employees happy. Were lucky to have google today because its taken the internet so far and made life so easy for us. The web is such a vast place, and would be impossible to surf the way we do today without it.
