Google Success - The Top Tech Giant | Google's History and Success

Google | The Tech Giant | History and Success

If we don’t get a handle on artificial intelligence, we may create something we’ll sorely regret. (Elon Musk )

Those of you who remember the days before we were all hyper-connected, our reliance on modern technology might seem somewhat problematic at times. Where will we be in another 50 years? Perhaps the most frightening depiction of technology dystopia is in the television series Black Mirror, which exposes a world lacking in empathy, where what once were turned into living nightmares. Even now the media argues over automation. Will it mean a laid back life for the masses, or mass unemployment under a technocracy?

Innovation is unstoppable, and there is a handful of technological companies at the forefront of this innovation. But, where would we be without Google, the company behind the search engine that most folks can’t live without?  
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at Stanford University in 1995. It’s said the two did not agree on many matters, but one thing they did agree on was the creation of a search engine that ranked pages by their importance on the World wide Web. This search engine was actually first called BackRub, but then fortunately for the pair they saw the light and made the change to Google. Google Incorporated was born in 1998, and soon venture capitalists were poised to invest in this small outfit.

Google just kept growing and soon billions of searches made every day on it's search engine. The company created it's headquarters the “Googleplex”, which would soon become synonymous with the avant-garde kind of tech workplace we see all over today. The company has since ventured into all kinds of markets, including the smartphone business, renewable energy, self-driving cars, enterprise services, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and all manner of smart devices. Google has its fingers in so many pies, it created a parent company that goes by the name Alphabet Inc.

This is what we call a conglomerate. Also Fortune puts Amazon as the third company in the running, with Microsoft also a contender and Facebook not far behind simultaneously. Google has 73,992 employees as of 2017. It outsources such things as IT functions to India, while it’s also been building its servers in Asia. 

Google has a few things that we might take for granted. That is arguably its search engine, the Chrome browser; its Android operating system, and to a lesser extent its productivity suite, or Google Suite. We might also mention that Google owns YouTube. To give you an idea on Google-Power, its Chrome browser alone has an almost 60 percent of the browser market. The Google search engine has a 75 percent share of the search engine market and has a whopping 87 percent share of the mobile operating system market.

When Google releases its initial version, it boosts and brought about a revolution in the world. Google's algorithm is considered to be most efficient and technical algorithm in the world. It displays pages in order of popularity. Larry and Brin took $100,00,00 loan from their family, friends, and investors and started the company "Google" in the year 1998. And became the most dominating search engine worldwide. Google's head quarter is in the silicon valley of California. Google stepped in the share market in the year 2004. Which made Larry and Bin, Billionaire.

In the year 2006, Google purchased the world most surfed video website, "YouTube" for in $165 Billion. And in September 2013, Larry remain at 13th position in the America's most richest personalities.

Google, now, developing and working hard to establish technological environment. Google is focusing on technological advancements and Machine learnings. Google will, soon, develop some unbelievable samples of technology which will amaze world and bring noticeable changes in the tech industry.
