After listening to the groups presentation I decided to write my blog about the history of Google. It all started in 1995 when a phD computer science student named Sergey Brin, showed a prospective student named Larry Page around Stanford University. They decided to partner up and launch a search engine called "backrub". In 1998 the original launch of "Google Beta" happened and the hiring of their first ever employee. In 1999 they decided to get rid of the word "Beta" from the title. When 2000 rolled around they further advanced Google by adding new languages. In 2004 the invention of gmail came out. Gmail was an email account connected with Google. In 2018 Google celebrated their 20 year anniversery since their first launch.
Current CEO: Sundar Pichai
However there are some pros and cons to Google. Starting off with the pros, Google is free to society, it is a great research tool, you can create custom search engines, there are many different products and apps that come with Google such as, gmail, google scholar, google calendar, google earth, and google photos. Some of the cons include, not everything you see and find on Google is accurate, it can be very expensive to advertise on Google, and it is cheaper on Bing and Yahoo.
