Why don’t you just google it already?
In the early modern period, the voyages of
Columbus initiated European exploration and colonization of the American
continents, and are thus of great significance in world history. Christopher
Columbus was a navigator and an admiral ,he made four voyages to the Americas,
with his first in 1492, which resulted in what is considered by European
Americans as the Discovery of America or Discovery of the Americas.America was found,then colonized by the Spanish
and then the British. Eventually the American Revolution occurred
resulting in its freedom. But the idea of search and exploration
implanted by Columbus,centuries ago, became a primal need for the then living
descendants. They searched for food,ways to harvest,tool making techniques and
various other information and knowledge that was needed for growth and survival.This
quest for collecting,recording,classifying and providing information remained unorganized and unprocessed.People knew what to find but it was the 'where and how' that was inconsistent, resulting in major fuckups, till Sergey Brin and Larry Page had a wild
January night together.It was college and like others,they too,were
experimenting. Together the came up with Google. No it was not adopted. Not a
surrogate either. They just created it. On a computer.Yes .NERDS!
The word Google,is
result of a fuck up,when Page forgot to use spell check while typing
‘Googol’,which is a one followed by 100 zeroes. However,the Thai people still
claim that ‘Backrub’ would have been a cooler and more effective name,specially
in the Asian Markets. Google,now 17 years old,yes it can legally drink in some
countries,is the most vital search tool and asset used by millions across the
globe. Based on the idea of page ranking and site scoring,the site records
number of hits and vitality of information.It has grown from a mere search
engine to various other mobile,web,social,office based services,expanding brilliantly, resulting in its stock skyrocketing
over $700.Also its free service,which
makes it hard to complain about.The
office named Googleplex is full of coffee machines,recreation
rooms,bicycles,exercise balls and various search sheets making it hard to find
the people actually working.Ironic.The millionaire founders think otherwise.
Reference-Page and
Brin developed the idea on their own as a school project .However, a similar
based system ‘RankDex’ was created around the same time in China by some LI. So
was the ‘cheating the smart Asian kid’ tactic employed by the bored Americans??
Google it.
