50 Amazing Facts and Figures About Google
Google has become an integral part of our lives and the word has even become a verb as we are often heard to say let’s “Google” that. I have even heard the web giant referred to in hushed tones during heated discussions and when a controversial fact or figure is being debated across a dinner table or at the local bar as to whether it is true or false and a person will pull out their iPhone and say “let’s check Lord Google”.
Google was founded in 1997 by two Stanford University PhD students Larry Page and Sergey Brin whose initial company mission statement was
“To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”
Which they seem to have made a good dent in achieving since they started the company.
Technology is enhancing us as human beings and the integrating of artificial intelligence is slowly being weaved and embedded into our activities and habits almost without us noticing. This reliance that is permeating our day to day existence even extends to a reported 60% plus of all buying decisions now starting with a Google search as we start our research online rather than walk the shop aisles and asking sales attendants questions.
It’s been barely 13 years since conception but the search company whose slogan is “Don’t be evil” (reputed to have been coined by the Google engineer Paul Buchheit in 2006 ) has now struck out into other technology areas beyond their core search business such as
- The successful Android mobile operating system which is reporting 400,000 activations per day (April 2011)
- Picasa photo organisation
- Google ‘Earth’ the 3D view of the earth technology that was initially the start up Keyhole
- Google Energy that is developing and investing in renewable energy projects such as wind farms in North Dakota
- Google Driverless Car that uses Google Street View with artificial intelligence technology
The law of abundance is evident here if you want a glimpse of the facts and the staggering global statistics for Google in its search engine and associated online properties such as YouTube, Android and other associated subsidiaries and technologies
