All About Google


Google is an American multinational technology company which specializes in Internet-related services and products, which include online advertisement, technologies, search engine, cloud computing, software, and hardware. It is one of the Big Four technology companies, Amazon, Apple, and Face book.

Google was founded in September 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University in California. Together they own about 14 percent of its shares and control 56 percent of the stockholder voting power through super voting stock. They incorporated Google as a California privately held company on September 4, 1998, in California. Google was then reincorporated in Delaware on October 22, 2002. An initial public offering (IPO) took place on August 19, 2004, and Google moved to its headquarters in Mountain View, California, nicknamed the Googleplex.
The company's rapid growth since incorporation has triggered a chain of products, acquisitions, and partnerships beyond Google's core search engine (Google Search). It offers services designed for work and productivity (Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides), email (Gmail), scheduling and time management (Google Calendar), cloud storage (Google Drive), instant messaging and video chat (Duo, Hangouts), language translation (Google Translate), mapping and navigation (Google Maps, Google Earth), video sharing (YouTube), note-taking (Google Keep), and photo organizing and editing (Google Photos). The company leads the development of the Android mobile operating system, the Google Chrome web browser, and Chrome OS, a lightweight operating system based on the Chrome browser. Google has moved increasingly into hardware; from 2010 to 2015, it partnered with major electronics manufacturers in the production of its Nexus devices, and it released multiple hardware products in October 2016, including the Google Pixel smartphone, Google Home smart speaker, Google Wifi mesh wireless router, and Google Daydream virtual reality headset. Google has also experimented with becoming an Internet carrier (Google Fiber, Google Fi, and Google Station).
Google.com is the most visited website in the world. Several other Google services also figure in the top 100 most visited websites, including YouTube and Blogger. Google was the most valuable brand in the world as of 2017, but has received significant criticism involving issues such as privacy concerns, tax avoidance, antitrust, censorship, and search neutrality. Google's mission statement is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". The company's unofficial slogan "Don't be evil" was removed from the company's code of conduct around May 2018, but reinstated by July 31, 2018.

The Future of Technology in 2025

Introduction Did you know that the technology landscape of 2025 is set to be dramatically different from what we know today? From AI advancements to groundbreaking innovations, the next few years are poised to redefine how we live, work, and interact. By the end of this article, you'll be at the forefront of understanding the future of technology. Brain-Computer Interfaces: Bridging Minds and Machines By 2025, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are expected to achieve remarkable breakthroughs, transforming how we interact with technology and possibly even each other. BCIs are devices that enable direct communication between the brain and external devices, essentially allowing thoughts to control computers, prosthetics, or even other machines. The progress in this field is exemplified by projects like Neuralink, co-founded by Elon Musk. Neuralink aims to develop ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers. The potential applications are vast an...
