What I learned- Presentations

I learned that Sergey Brin, a PhD computer science student at Stanford struck up partnership with Larry Page, a prospective student, after showing him around the university's campus. In 1996, the pair launched the search engine "backrub." Then in 1998, "Google Beta" launched and hired their first employees. Two years later, in 2000, Google added new languages to their search engine. In 2004, gmail was added as a new feature for Google. In 2008, the Google then launched the chrome browser, competing directly against internet explorer. Google continued to progress past their original search engine brand and in 2016 created the first ever Google phone (Google Pixel). The current CEO of Google is Sundar Pichai. 

Google has changed the way nearly everyone has used the internet in a very positive way. For example, it is free to use, can be used as a research tool, can be used an advertising tool, and gives you access to a variety of different websites and information at your fingertips. Google also has many different helpful products and apps such as gmail, google scholar, google calendar, google earth, google photos, etc. However, Google also has negatives. For example, not every article you find on Google is true. Also, it is very expensive to advertise on Google and ads are put at the top to make it look as if that is the most popular website under your search.
