History of Google

Google has become one fo the most widely known and used companies of our generation. Everyone knows what Google is and what is does, but how did Google get to this point? What did the early days look like? Google, along with many other of the massive companies of our time,  began with two college students in a garage. These two students were Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who attend Stanford university at the time. They began the creation of Google within the garage of Susan Wojcicki, who at the time was a marketing manager for Google. Wojcicki rented the garage to the fellow students for $1,700 a month in order to pay her rent. Funny enough Wojcicki is now the owner of Youtube, a massive company, currently owned by Google itself. 

After only five months of being working within the garage, Google, originally called Backrub, had began to blow up and Page and Brin were ready to move on. Their current headquarters, located in Mountain View, California, covers more than 2 million square feet and Google is now named one fo the Big 5 companies. The Big 5 companies includes companies, such as Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. 

However, everything has two sides and with Google, a built around the internet, there are bound to be many problems. One major issues with Google is the dark web. The dark web is a part of the web very difficult to access that contains everything illegal one could imagine. It is a place full of crime and Google may be one way to access it. Another big issue with Google is its infinite amount of information and the finger tips of anyone who has access to the internet. This may seem like an amazing thing on the surface but when put into the wrong hands, could prove to be very dangerous. Lastly, Google has had some issues with biases, especially within politics. Some say that since Google has control over what pops up when we make our searches, the information may lean towards one direction more than the other in terms of political topics. 

Overall, Google has been one of the biggest advances for our generation and will continue to remain at the top within the industry. Without Google we wouldn't be where we are today and it has proved to be one of the most beneficial and useful tools of modern society.
